Magnetic Shielding?

[guayabound]

Hi,
I am planning on building an HTPC and stacking it on top of my receiver. Is this a bad idea? Do I have to worry about non-magnetically shielded products (receiver/speakers) damaging any information on my computer hard drive?

Thanks,
Joe

I would be worried about your receiver overheating, if anything.

Im planning on building a low energy consumption HTPC around a 35W processor, so it shouldnt produce too much heat. Would it make any difference if I put the receiver on top of the HTPC or would it just be better to plan on not stacking the units directly on top of each other?
