Hello all i'm thinking of adding a internal speaker to my pc case Antec NSK 2480 as i always have internet radio playing but have to have the tv on to hear anything so fancy adding a speaker

as you can see from pic below i have space which is normally used for cd/dvd drive so should be able to fit something in there plus cutout panel to try and make it nice and neat "fingers crossed"

The way i was think of going is buy some usb speakers and just run the cable out the back as the motherboard doesn't have a audio header anywhere plus using usb would make things a lot easier

ps not worried if it's just mono as only ever have chat stations on

While it should work as you want, I'd be a little concerned about putting what's basically a magnet inside the PC.

I'm not sure what would be the field strength of a small USB speaker's voice coil, but....... ??

regular cases (vintage) had standard speakers
more modern mobo's have pezo speakers over the traditional speakers

found this - cant vouch for the quality; reviews seem favorable.

Cheers freon you have saved me a lot of trouble so off to order

Side note on my HP Compaq dc7100 when i first got my hands on the thing and did a reinstall and it first started up i wondered where the sound was coming from as didn't have any speakers plugged in only to find a little 30mm x 50mm speaker in the case which filled the room with sound

I remember those old speakers well, lol.

But in all cases that I can remember, the PC Speaker was well away from any HDD or FDD bays.

Just fitted and the sound quality is not to bad just don't expert any bass as you won't find any but for normal pc use and talk radio there great and fill the room ok with sound like having a small radio in the room

Thumbs up to SpecialTech a company i've never used before but they were the only ones who had them in sliver so placed my order at about 11 am yesterday and they turned up today at about noon so great service :-)

After playing with them all day they may be going back as even at low levels theres a speaker vibration / resonating

that's a shame... they really look nice. But I think we can't expect much from such small speakers.

Was bored and who cares about the warranty so crack open the case and found one of the screw pre-striped for easy opening also finding i'm picking up noise from the hard drives
