GruntVille.com reviews the new Thermaltake Circlefire which appears to be a speaker system designed to be housed in a 5-1/4″ drive bay. The designs and colors on the Circlefire certainly look cool and will spice up anyone’s rig but the sound output leaves a lot to be desired. Here’s a quote from GruntVille.

Now it’s time for the bad news… The 2W speaker is very low quality and has a squawking, somewhat ‘tinny’ sound. I honestly believe my Nintendo GameBoy from 10+ years ago had better sound. To make things worse, the volume button on the unit has three states; Loud, Louder, and Louder+1. The only way I could tolerate the sound was to have the Circlefire set on the lowest setting, and drop my PC volume to less than 25%. And I use “tolerate” in the least enthusiastic way possible.
