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.

DFI LanParty P35 Motherboard Review

Board Layout and Features Cont.
The new ICH9R Southbridge chip adds a good number of expansion options to the P35 chipset including 6 SATA2 ports and 12 USB 2.0 connections. Dual gigabit Ethernet is also available for those of you craving to try out nic teaming.
LanParty UT boards do not come with a huge collection of accessories though you do get enough parts to be up and running right out of the box.
Included in the box you get:
quick install manual, full users manual, driver disk, ATX backplate, jumpers, Bernstein audio connector cable.
Drive cables include:
1x rounded IDE, 3x SATA, floppy, and 2x SATA power cables.

Along with the new color scheme DFI updated the removable audio module to the Bernstein style. This connector board features many of the same basic connections found on the Karajan audio module and is designed for easy access and installation. You lose an available PCI slot but gain onboard "offboard" audio. I suspect the upgrade came as a partial result of the elaborate motherboard cooling method that you'll see next.
