The accessory package contains an ATX I/O back plate, two serial ATA cables, a serial ATA "Y" power
splitter, generic thermal grease and a joystick extender cable. A set of orange coloured rounded IDE and
floppy cables are also included in a separate box. A large pull tab labels the Master, Slave, and System
portions of the cable and promotes easier removal. The shielded IDE and Floppy cables are UV reactive
and measure 18" in length.

The PC Transpo system is specifically designed to simplify the transportation of your case when travelling
to and from LAN events. The PC Transpo is constructed from a high quality fabric material and features an
optional shoulder strap and a mesh compartment for CDs, keyboards, cables and mice. The rugged construction
and metal plate re-enforced areas allow for a strong assurance level when using the PC Transpo to haul
your case. The FrontX module is a 5.25" based device that facilitates bringing commonly used ports to
the front of the case. The included unit comes equipped with a 4 LED diagnostic, MIC and Earphone jacks,
and dual USB 2.0 ports. All connections are designed to use the onboard headers of the DFI LAN Party
Pro875B Motherboard and can be easily re-arranged in any desired slot of the FrontX module according to
your personal need. These two products are great additions and simplify common minor annoyances gamers
encounter.

Out of the box, my initial impressions of the DFI LAN Party Pro875B Motherboard were extremely positive.
DFI has taken a unique approach in terms of improving the aesthetic appeal of this product by tailoring
it specifically for case modders and the gaming community. The Pro875B sports a black coloured 4 layer
PCB that measures approximately 30.5cm (12.05") x 24.4cm (9.6"). The appearance of motherboard has been
accented with orange and green UV reactant connectors and PCI/AGP slots. Based upon the Intel i875P
chipset, the DFI LAN Party Pro875B Motherboard is Prescott Ready and supports the latest 800Mhz FSB Pentium 4 Processors
featuring Hyper-Threading technology, Dual Channel DDR 400 Memory, Serial ATA, HighPoint RAID, 6-channel
audio with S/PDIF, Gigabit LAN and USB 2.0 support. Consumers will be happy to note that the Pro875B
also boasts support for the latest Prescott and Extreme Edition Pentium 4 processor along with Processor
Acceleration Technology (PAT). One of the unique features included with the Pro875B is the presence of
a built-in Power and Reset switch. Both switches provide the convenience in powering or resetting the
system while fine tuning the system board before it is installed into a case chassis.
