PRODUCT COMPOSITION

For price of US$140-$160 depending on availability and retailer, you will receive the following.

For one, you will be amazed at the sheer size of the Lanparty package.

With a box almost two times the size of a standard motherboard container, you know it has to be chocked full of toys.

First off, you will receive a case window sticker, a case badge, extra motherboard jumpers, a quick install guide and a full multilingual owners manual.

At the bottom of the box, you will also receive a software install manual, a full copy of InterVideo WinCinema and the motherboard and RAID drivers.

The first box you will open is the package containing the FrontX multimedia panel for an empty 5 1/4" drive slot in your case.

Although the FrontX multimedia ports were a great idea when they first were introduced, most of today's newer cases have the front USB and multimedia ports included. It's still a great addition, but in today's market maybe the inclusion of some UV reactive color coordinated 80mm case fans might be more useful.
