I have this big box motherboard, box is bigger than a regular motherboard
but its incomplete, it is missing cables, brackets, a 5 1/4 bay that i don´t know what it is for, and CDROM driver disc.
reading some old reviews it looks like it even came with a yellow cable sleeving kit.

does anyone have it? i would like to have the iso image of the original driver disc!

not sure why when i search on google for NF4 SLI-DR i get the same motherboard but with a different box. mine has a box like this:

This has the DFI LANPARTY nF4 SLI-DR manual on it so should be close to the original driver cd.
"The following are included in LANPARTY nF4 SLI-DR only.
One FrontX device equipped with:
- 4 diagnostic LEDs, 1 S/PDIF-out, 1 mini 1394 port and 1
Serial ATA port
One I/O shield label sticker" etc

I just did a google search on it (DFI LANPARTY nF4 SLI-DR) and the 1st result was an AnandTech Review https://www.anandtech.com/show/1626/6 and it shows the same box.

2nd result was an old Newegg listing https://www.newegg.com/dfi-lanparty-nf4-sli-d … N82E16813136151 that shows the same box as well.

Yes. The bottom picture shows a cd that appears the same as this: https://ia802204.us.archive.org/23/items/dfi_ … P%20nF4_003.PNG

I used to have this board. It was actually the last new computer I ever built.

I liked the plethora of options the bios had and the regular updates and additions, including unofficial releases I believe there were.

I ponder what options the latest version of this bios had that mine never saw.

It was fun but ultimately for some reason I never got it working very stable. Unsure why.

A friend of mine has it now.

The cd I am sure was lost to time before it made it to my friend.
