There is a lanparty which is availible for Intel platforms, I believe it uses the x915 chip or something similar.

To clarify a few things:
Anyways, the Intels producing less heat is BS, this may have been true with the Athlon XPs and Northwood Pentium 4s, but with Prescotts idling in the 60s and Venices loading in the 30s, I really don't see how you could consider the Intel cooler.
AMD is also generally the better overclocker now IMO, with a variety of mobile chips plus cores which allow higher and higher clock speeds, and DDR1 latency, a 1GHz increase on an AMD chip would most likely stump most Intel chips. And with a Venice and the proper hardware this isn't something that isn't a rare occurance.
As for the DFI/Abit argument, Abit is a good company and uses the same capacitators, but as far as options and configurations go, especially voltage and memory, it can't touch the DFI.
