Included is everything you need to get the
device up and running quickly. The cable on the PCI socket is
fairly long and should be enough for most full tower cases considering you
don't install it in the first bay.
The temp probe is the flat type we are quite familiar with which is similar to
those on the comp-u-nurse or other similar accessories. Coolermaster generously includes both a 3-pin and 4-pin fan cable so you won't
have to worry about getting an adapter.

The Musketeer is very simple to install.
Just plug in the cables and screw it on to a free 5.25" bay on your case.

We installed the unit on a Lian Li Silver
Aluminum Chassis. It matched quite nicely. As we mentioned
earlier, it is also available in black for those with black cases. Above
are some shots of the device. It is hard to capture its
illumination with pictures. The illumination is a nicer, deeper
blue due to its blue background. Overall, it looks quite
attractive once it is installed and running. Definitely an
eye-catcher.
Everything worked as advertised. The
VU meter is a nice touch and works well. You can adjust the sensitivity
but we preferred it at the highest level. Below is an 8 second
video clip of the Musketeer in action!

Conclusion
The Musketeer is a great addition to any case. While not all that
useful, it definitely looks great and its unique appearance makes it that much
more appealing. It is a device that is very easy to install and requires
no software or additional configuration. It is truly a plug and play type case
accessory that is sure to turn heads. The Musketeer can be picked up
from various online shops for about $43 - $50.
