The PC speaker would be just 1 small round speaker (not a pair of speakers) either hooked up to the front panel header (where the power button, reset button, HDD LED and PWR LED are connected) or it would be a small piezo speaker already built into the motherboard. This is the speaker the BIOS beep would come from.

Can you tell where the burnt smell is strongest? The CPU? The power supply? The RAM sticks? Somewhere specific on the motherboard? Does anythink look burnt? Have you removed the heatsink to inspect the CPU yet?
