Installation:
Installation of the Kama Bay Speaker is certainly on the list of easier case accessory installations. Four included screws will hold is securely in place in your 5.25" bay, a standard molex plug will power it, and replacing the back slot plate to run the 1/8" male to male cable through is also very straightforward.

Testing:
Disconnecting my computer's main speakers and using the Scythe Kama Bay Speaker for a day was certainly enough time to show me just what it was made of. For the the cheap price and small size, I was honestly quite astonished at the sound quality it had! Although it's far from matching up to any good computer speakers, it certainly didn't sound like crap either. For a $25 way to bring some speakers with you without having to actually lug a set of speakers, the Kama Bay Speaker is certainly a great option to consider! I found it to be well balanced so all types of media sounded good on it, it's definitely no designed to "hype" certain types of media only or anything to that extent.

Conclusion:
Although I may have made a few suggestions throughout the review, when it comes right down to it; for a $25 accessory the Scythe Kama Bay Speaker is really quite an awesome product. If I were browsing the shelves at a local store and saw this, I would certainly grab it for the reasonable price just to try it out. Those who relocate their computer a lot, either to and from friends houses to game or to and from LAN parties will be the ones who find the biggest use for this product. Since I've yet to find a gamer who carriers a full set of speakers with them when travelling, now you can carry a simple set of speakers right inside your case without all the extra effort. For the price, the sound quality and volume was admittedly way more than I would have expected from a product like this. Well done Scythe on a great low-budget case addon that's sure to turn some heads!

Pros:
Inexpensive
Not bad sounding at all for the money!
Available in three colours (black, silver, white)
Installation is incredibly easy, it's really something that anyone can easily add to their case without hassle

Cons:
I was concerned about the power surge when I turned it on
Adding a headphone jack with speaker bypass would be nice
