that perfect blend of good looks and functionality in a front mounted single fan controller? Look no more! The CoolerMaster Musketeer has it all, and a lil' bit more packed in along with some "old skool" looking blue backlit meters. 'Nuff drooling modboy, let's take a closer peek. </p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/musketeer/1big.jpg"><img src="atruereview/musketeer/1.jpg" alt="Coolermaster Musketeer" width="250" height="230" border="0"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p><strong>Packaging:</strong> <p>The Musketeer arrived retail boxed and VERY well cushioned in a ton of packing peanuts and an oversized box.

Black is always a good choice, while the blue background of the meters give a nice color offset. The meters are arranged like so: 1) Voltage - 12v. 2) Sound Pressure - VU. 3) Temperature - sensor placed at your discretion.</p> <p align="left"> The two chromed sliders you see control: 1) Fan speed of a single fan and 2) The amount of VU sensitivity. </p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/musketeer/4big.jpg"><img src="atruereview/musketeer/4.jpg" alt="Coolermaster Musketeer" width="250" height="214" border="0"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font></p> <p align="left">Spinning the unit around, you can see we have connections for power in, temperature sensor, VU meter, and the single fan this controller can monitor and control).
