Cable Management One

The process to tidy the inside of the case has started and the first order of business was to mounted the Dell internal speaker securely in a little cubby, away from other things that may touch it, or damage the little circuit board.

I mounted the speaker to a plastic disk and then used a zip tie to mount at the side of the lower drive bay, to the right of it you will see the Antec 120mm fan for scale. You can see how things are not all as they should be with Dell items, four wires for basically a mono speaker?

The speaker does have a printed circuit attached that is a little amplifier, and logically there is a common ground wire, power wire and mono audio, so the puzzle was the fourth wire, which I will assume is the speaker detection wire, relaying information back to the motherboard.
