Rumor is, DFI is bringing back the LanParty series.

I have heard from an acquaintance that is fairly well connected within the industry that DFI is bringing back the LanParty Series this year. Furthermore, apparently there have been a few prototype boards on eBay recently (my guess is eBay Taiwan).

I'm hoping it's true and Oskar can work some of his magic on Intel's latest.

When they discontinued the LanParty (i.e. their consumer) line, they went back to industrial and OEM motherboards, and embedded devices.

So much want...I know my brother and I would both sell organs for a new lanparty.

Awesome. One of my favorite motherboards ever was my Lanparty UT P35-T2R. I really hope this is true, I am in for one the minute they are for sale.

This is great, I used to love the LanParty series boards when I was working with K6-2/Duron/Athlon/Athlon64s. I wonder with the new series if they'll be releasing Intel boards as well as AMD boards.

This would be the best mobo related news in a very long time. My LP DK X58 is still running strong and is a great OCing platform. I've also been missing that classic Lanparty color scheme in recent boards.

DFI always had new goodies to go with there new releases.
When I first set up first DFI I had mode or modify contacts under the chipset cooling fan then use bios chip remover to move many of the staple shape connectors after that it was one of the best boards I ever had back then.

Lets hope it lives up the Quality we all rememer and its not just a stab at making some money off the lanparty name.

Alot has changed option wise since x58

Just before Xmas I gave away an old (yet still working) LanParty NF4 SLI-D with 2GB GeIL One 600MHz & a A64 X2 3800 (does 2.6GHz still) to my cousin for his first computer to mess around with. It was the first time I used Water Cooling as well.


If they do come back with a nice Z97 board I will definitely jump back to them.

Sweet. My old LanParty DK, Phenom 1 setup is still running at my parents house

what's so great about the lanparty line?

what's so great about the lanparty line?

They were the overclock boards to have back in early 2000's. The awesomeness of ASUS ROG gear with ASRock prices.

The DFI Lanparties were great on AMD but sucked hard on the Intel side . They have a lot to prove to get people to trust them again. They excited the enthusiast market on a bad note too.

I still have my DFI NF4 LanParty... loved it. I'd really enjoy seeing them back in the game.

PS: I haven't heard the name Oskar in a long time! I still remember waiting on his beta bios releases to pop up. lol
