Where did you get the speakers?

[low_budget]

The speakers are from digi key. They have a pretty good selection for projects.

very nice.. im diggin it

To control the excessive fan noise I made a circuit that controls fan speed based on temperature. My laptop is much quieter now, and is almost silent on startup. This circuit was found here: http://www.redcircuits.com/Page109.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
