Coolermaster Musketeer, Aerogate I and II, and Cooldrive 4

[beatle]

Has anyone seen the new Musketeer yet? It definitely looks trick. It reminds me of the 3 gauges I installed under my stereo in my car. I wonder if it uses PWM to adjust the fan speed. I would wager a guess of yes, as that seems to be the new thing these days.

The Aerogate I and II both look to be higher quality fan controllers, at least going by most of Coolermaster's product lines. It looks like they have a plexi cover, much like the Vantec fan controller. I think this is pretty ugly, especially if you're trying to integrate it into an existing coolermaster case that doesn't have plexi on the front. I can only pray they do not use PWM to adjust voltage.

The Cooldrive 4 is the same as the Aerogate II, but also provides a harddrive enclosure.

So far, I can't find much information on these products. Any new news, post here.

I guess there wasn't much interest in this the first time around, but I figured I'd revive the thread. Coolermaster now has a little demo of the Musketeer on their website which looks very trick. I haven't seen any more information on this, but I'll be one of the first ones in line to pick it up!

Found a Polish review @ FrazPC. I can't translate it, but it has some excellent pictures.

Another reason to buy a Lian-Li! I want that 2nd controller.

cooldrive 4 looks nice

Aerogate II and Cooldrive 4 look tricked out. I wonder if SVC will have em and how much they will be. Aerogate I is also nice but no sweet LCD.

I wonder if they will have a CoolDrive 4 in black... that would be nice!

I'd like to see them in black also. It seems that there are no US sites reviewing them yet. I'll cross my fingers for SVC to get them in. If anyone spots a place selling them, post here!

By sheer luck I found Performance-PCs.com selling the Musketeer! It's a bit pricey @ $50, but definitely a one-of-a-kind item. I emailed the owner last night around midnight about the black version and the other new Coolermaster products... when I woke up I had an email from him! He said he doesn't have any info on the black version, but according to Coolermaster, the other products should be shipping later this month. Who wants to guinea pig the silver Musketeer?

Sundial Micro has them all listed for sale. The two Aerogates are out of stock but are priced at $55 each. The Musketeer is also $55 but it is in stock.

svc.com has the Musketeer at $41.99

Finally found a review in English. My suspicions are confirmed. It rocks.

Yummy, even though I think the musketeer is ass ugly!

I still haven't been able to locate the Cool Drive 4 anywhere. I can find the Aerogate I and II, but not the Aerogate II with the hard drive enclosure (Cool Drive 4)

 

[Vonkhan]

must resist ...

Just got an email back from SVC:

Dear Valued Customer,

We will be receiving black musketeers as soon as Cooler Master gets them
back in stock. We estimate a 1-2 week wait.

Best Regards,

SVCompucycle

Not a bad wait! I was expecting a month or more, but this is good... if Coolermaster delivers.

 

[mechBgon]

Bump for stuff I'm tempted to buy even before I know what it actually does! Looks trick!

 

[beatle]

FrozenCPU appears to carry the black Musketeer, but they're currently out of stock... I'm still waiting for the black one to make my purchase.

 

[GAZZA]

They have an ETA of 1 week for the CoolDrive 4 Here for $39:95

 

[ProUser]

Shows 4-8 weeks when I go there? And dang, still no sign of a black cool drive 4!

 

[GAZZA]

Damn they changed it, was 1 week this morning !
