   Is there a utility anywhere that allows you to disable the internal
   speaker?  Those beeps can be pretty obnoxious when you're in a public
   cluster.

   Thanks,

Well a screwdriver would do to open the box and then you could just
remove the speaker !!! 
But if you sometimes want the sound, there is a better solution.
Most Pc's have a buttom to slow down the speed (often labeled TURBO)
If you don't use this (who does ?), you could use it to turn of/on the 
speaker. When you disconnect the buttom from the motheboard, make sure to 
notice if the wires have to be connected or not for the computer to work 
at its normal speed. Then just cut one of the wires from the speaker
and connect them the loose ends to the free buttom

It works for me, soo it would proberly work for you to, but no
guaranti (the usual disclaimer .... bla bla...)

PS you could also make a volumen control but i don't think that is what
 you wanna do   ?
