Introduction
Last year we had the chance to review the Musketeer from Coolermaster. Tonite we have a chance to have a closer look at the second version of the popular Musketeer which this time is called ‘Musketeer 2′. This device is connected to a 5.25 slot and it shows your HDD activity and also the sound activity. It has 7 different colors so you can just choose which color suits your mood. Well enough talking, lets get this review going.

Coolermaster has always put an effort into their packages so that they are protective but still easy to open. This is no different from before. On the front we find the Musketeer 2 picture and on the back we find specifications.

We have some led controller on the left picture. You get two different ones that you can mount either in a PCI slot or in a floppy drive bay. You control the led in the Musketeer by just pushing the button up or down. We also got some more accessories for example a manual that contains different languages and some sound ports that are required for you to be able to use the sound meters.

The Musketeer is available in black and silver and in my case we got a silver one to review. There are no cosmetic differences in the first and second version. On the sides we find 4 holes on each side so this can fit in pretty much any case out there.

In the back we find all the connectors and plugins that are needed. The manual explains very easily where to connect all cables so you get the Musketeer to work. You get old old analogue style meters that shows you the sound effects and harddrive activity and on the left we have the first gage to show the activity of the left sound channel.
