     These days there are so many cool fan and light controllers/sensors, it is really hard to pick which one to use. I must have reviewed dozens of controllers and switched back and forth so many times that I'm starting to cause wear marks on the drive bays of my case. I just can't make up my mind which one to use... To make my decision even harder, Cooler Master has sent over their very own twist on the fan controller called the Musketeer. What's so special about this one? Several things... First of all, it is constructed entirely out of heavy duty aluminum, anodized silver, and uses VU Meter style gauges! Maybe this is the one I've been waiting for?

     The high quality structure of the Musketeer already sets this unit apart from all the rest. This is the first time I've seen such a rugged design. The structure is more what you would expect out of a solid aluminum case. Right out of the box, the Musketeer starts to gain massive cool points...
