After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.
Please update your bookmarks and be sure to visit the new and improved Ninjalane at Hardwareasylum.com
DFI LanParty KT400A Motherboard Review

Additional Features
The LanParty KT400A isn't without ample documentation; along with a quick start guide you get a complete user manual in 6 different languages, driver disks, handy case badge and a LanParty sticker. The ATX connector is pretty typical with the exception of two Ethernet ports and 4 USB.
Along with the LanParty motherboard, DFI has also included an excellent care package that exceeds many of the standard packages you see with motherboards today. Below are typical items including such things as UV sensitive rounded cables (2x IDE and 1x Floppy), SerialATA cable, and digital sound ports.
The included "FrontX" media bay is completely configurable by simply sliding in the parts you want to use, all of the needed ports and plugs are included.
Lastly, a LanParty oriented motherboard wouldn't be complete without a handy carrying strap or "PC Transpo" as DFI calls it. The "PC Transpo" installed without a hitch and has enough strap length to fit most full tower cases. The buckles are oversized and should hold under just about any stress load.
