"No need to go to the back? Do it in the Front!!"? says the front of the box. Oh dear! Aside from the slighly risque translation, the product does indeed allow you to do it in the?umm?front. The VIZO Master Panel II re-routes audio, USB, Firewire, and eSata ports into a front panel that sits in a standard 5.25 inch bay. It even contains a dual-channel fan controller and a Multicard Reader. Looks like hanging on to that old case for a bit longer might just be an option afterall.

Let's face it - people hate connecting things to the back of their computer, especially if it's only for temporary use. Having to poke around the back of your case (where there is already a jumble of cables) just to connect a camera to download photos off of it is a pain. Thankfully, most cases nowadays come with front USB ports. But what about other connectors and outputs? There have been many products providing a solution to this problem. Most of them fit in a 5.25" drive bay and basically re-route or provide front connections for, among other things, USB ports. This can be helpful if your case didn't come with front access for these connections. While most of them are fairly basic, the VIZO Master Panel II takes an "everything but the kitchen sink" approach by providing a plethora of I/O options as well as some other nice features. Today, we'll take a look to see if the Master Panel II stands out from among the rest.

The VIZO Master Panel II Expansion Interface is a multifunctional controller panel; an updated version to Vizo's original Master Panel, that brings added provisions and features to where their needed...Up front. Here at Benchmark Reviews we are very familiar with the ongoing revolution in portable media. Wheather its uploading play-lists for an MP3 player or the day's pictures from a digital camera; everyone wants a convenient way to manage their data without having to fumble around the back of their cases. This popular demand has even driven manufacturers to add the most basic I/O ports to the front of PCs. However, with there being so many proprietary media standards, a convenient and centralized solution is still missing from many if not all case designs, leaving consumers looking to after market solutions for their needs.

Multi-function panels have really taken off over the past couple of years. These handy devices put most of the I/O ports people use on a daily basis right on the front of your PC. Many of us are used to pulling our rigs out from under our desks to plug our devices into the back of our computers, but VIZO's Master Panel II gives us a break by developing a panel that puts many of these ports right at our fingertips. The Master Panel II gives us front panel connections to USB 2.0, fans, firewire, eSATA, RCA, audio, and even supports many common memory cards used today.
