cm rc690 case speaker?????

[XRWKEN]

Just got this case for my new I7, putting all the goodies and realized "where is the case speaker?"

Why in gods name would cm NOT give you a case speaker, ALL the great quality parts and they cant add a $2.00 case speaker. I now have to buy one online I guess and pay 5x the cost of the speaker in shipping, Yes its still cheap in the big picture but a HUGE pain in my butt, find one, order one and wait for it

The case is so Well built, more then enough room, good cable management and I didn't need ANY cable extensions like some others have said.

case speaker, why, why, why?

...you mean your motherboard didn't come with a little button speaker?

really most motherboards nowadays have the speakers on them.

My mobo is a Asus P6T Deluxe , When I was hooking up the front I/o wires to the mobo I saw the words "speaker" on the Q connector. it has 4 pins. I was/am assuming that is for a case speaker. i would have thought that if the mobo came with some type of sound in the mobo thee would be no need for that speaker connector. But for around $275. for the mobo, asus would include it. Nothing in the manual about that connector or an integrated speaker, just on the Q connector.

Can't find one on the board here

But I can't really see why you would need them apart from bleep codes and classic doom.
