Bit Tech did some digging and heard DFI will not be launching any new LANParty motherboards in the future, as the division wasn't profitable:
This visit coincided with another set of events. I finally contacted some other people associated/previously associated with DFI's LANParty group in Taipei, and arranged several meetings during Computex. Today, we finally got our answer: DFI told its LANParty team in 2009 there would be no more LANParty products. The division was losing money continually through 2009 and late in the year the sales team were told to clear their inventory before being moved to the far more profitable industrial division.
This didn't go down too well at all and as a result many of the LANParty sales and marketing team left DFI for new ventures.
