I recently bought the Logitech THX Z-5300e 5.1 speakers and the subwoofer is sweet but i heard somethign about subwoofers screwing up harddrives. I forget where i read it but they were saying if your subwoofer is too close to your computer that it was cause the harddrive to fail. I was just wondering if this was true or not. And if it is...is my subwoofer and computer to close together??
 
Hard drives are magnetic storage devices and they use magnets to re-arrange the data that you store on them. Speakers are basically large magnets, so if you keep your subwoofer too close to your hard drive there is the possibility that it could either overwrite your data, or corrupt it. Your setup looks fine, but if you are worried about it/start getting weird errors about corrupted files etc then move it.
