Nice, but do you like mine? I made it in response to yours, and because I hate my XBOX. Its hard to make out, but it says "The real revolution is at Microsoft where we have a controller that weighs five times that of the revolution. And we have Halo. Buy an XBOX360.".

Yes, that's the way to show a resistor on schematics. Now for my question. Would a piezo with a rating of 7-14v @ 150mA max be able to be used in the circuit that vb_master provided?

1 quick question, what does 8 (upside down horseshoe thingie) mean? 8 ohms? And why won't it work as my PC speaker?
Yes, that "upsidedown horseshoe" means ohms. The reason (I think) why it won't work with PC speakers, is that those speakers weren't meant for such shrill noises, and piezos are.
Actually, it's because a piezo doesn't require a signal, just voltage, as it makes the sound itself. PC speakers, just like any other speakers require an alternating signal to make a sound.
