These. Anyone remember this model of speaker? These exact ones were in the PC at elementary school back when I went! PCs were made by a Canadian OEM that naturally no longer exists.

The speakers could swivel.

@onfy never seen anything like it, do they actually route 12V molex from the case? looks like they're supposed to be in a drive bay lol

@onfy oh, it does fit in a drive bay. I guess that makes more sense.

Our first "family PC" was a Macintosh Performa all-in-one, so it just had speakers

@noiob Yes, they go in a drive bay, and apparently run from a 5V rail. I have some speakers in my retro PC under heavy influence of grade 1.

@onfy honestly I'd probably prefer a really shitty pair of headphones over that… our elementary school didn't have computers and my secondary school wisely didn't buy any

@noiob Yeah, at least the ones I've got, my cheap headphones sound better... at least I get convenient front headphone and USB. (Though the audio connector's installed wrong. It only works if you plug your headphones halfway in.)
