After the highly successful launch of the DFI LAN Party JR P45-T2RS mATX Motherboard, DFI now launches the DFI LAN Party JR 790GX-M2RS mATX Motherboard.

Let’s unbox it and see what’s inside:

Just like the unboxing of the DFI JR P45 last time, it’s the same white box inside:

Here we see the contents besides the motherboard itself (manuals, drivers, Uv reactive cables, backplate, etc):

Teaser shot with the motherboard still in its static bag:

And finally, the motherboard itself:

DFI seems to be on a roll nowadays. They are able to release new products faster.

The past few years they have been lagging behind. If they continue to keep this up, they could probably match or exceed the glory days of the nF4 models. Still remember them? nF4 Ultra-D / SLI-DR ring a bell? Oh I bet you do!

The ultimate mATX Intel P45 based chipset motherboard you can find!

The actual box pictured:

Opening the box pictured above reveals another (much simpler) box:

Opening the box, we see the bundle (manuals, drivers, UV reactive orange cables, etc..)

Tease… tease… tease… here’s a shot of the motherboard still in the static bag:

And finally…

That’s about it. Hope you enjoyed the unboxing as much as I did. This is probably one of the first (if not the first) actual retail stock of the DFI LAN Party JR P45-T2RS mATX motherboard pictured.

It should be available worldwide and in your country real soon.

Bu the way, here’s a bonus shot with the room lights turned off and illuminated with a Sunbeam 12″ Dual UV CCFL kit:

Pretty cool eh?
