Those beeps can be pretty obnoxious when you're in a public cluster. Thanks, pat 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 ? -- =================================================================== Anders Majland Pedersen AUC majland@aud.auc.dk Institute for Electronic Systems d502i@kom.auc.dk Aalborg University (AUC) Denmark FTP carlsberg.nork.auc.dk 192.38.54.8 =================================================================== DON'T WORRY, BE HAPPY, AND HOPE IT WORKS ! ===================================================================
