Designed with the most discerning hardcore gamers in mind and based on the feedback provided by hardware enthusiasts, DFI will unveil its next generation LANParty motherboard for the Athlon64 platform.

Case modding fans can continue to extend their creativity on this platform with its UV-sensitive slots and sockets as well as well as the many color-matching bundle gadgets this Athlon64 LANParty motherboard comes with.

TeamDFI, created with the goal to promote LAN gaming within the broad community, will be DFI's official CyberXGaming Ambassadors to demonstrate various winning edges on the DFI-powered gaming rigs. Members of TeamDFI, DFI_Guy, Code_ Zero, Thrash and Teh_Rage, will be on-site at the Stardust Pavilion to game with the gamers and to host TeamDFI Challenge on Friday, January 9, from 1 PM to 2 PM.
