Question for the speaker/computer geeks. Just got a new desk for my computer room. However, because of the new desk, the furniture had to be rearranged, which has presented me one dilemma.

I need to place my front right speaker for my audio system right underneath the desk where my computer sits. Granted, there's about three inches of air gap between the speaker and the computer. The computer wouldn't be sitting directly above the speaker either as the speaker sits further back on the desk than the computer does.

I'm curious what damage this will do, if any, to the computer. I know the HDD won't like magnets, but how about the rest of the computer? I've never heard of magnets interfering with boards or flash memory, but perhaps I'm uninformed.

I don't believe this speaker is shielded, although I suppose I could be wrong. Is there any way to test?

Thanks in advance,
-Chris.
