Cases without speakers
Submitted by specialj on Sat, 2008-02-23 19:06.
I've been noticing that a lot of cases do not have speakers these days. I find this to be an unfortunate trend as the PC speaker is the only way to diagnose certain hardware problems on the majority of motherboards. In dealing with some problems today on a system without a speaker I finally pulled a speaker from an old system marked for donation to use to diagnose the problem. I plan to keep this speaker in my toolkit from now on. Of course, the speaker was only so useful as when I looked up the beep code (long short short) I was told the problem was video. The problem ended up being the RAM. But at least once I had gotten the memory issue resolved I was rewarded by the sound of a post beep.
