Speakers and harddrives

Hi all,
This might be a silly question, but I have to ask any way. I just bought the Logitech Z340's. I have the subwoofer within inches of my computer case. I leave the speakers on all the time, and if I'm at the computer, then some music is playing most of the time. I am wondering if I have to worry about the magnetic field being created by/in the subwoofer? Is there any chance if it is 2-3 inches from the case that it might damage any of the components in there? I guess the two most susceptible items are RAM and my hard drives? Any help/advice will be appreciated. Thanks.

Note: The subwoofer is kept at half volume and it is rated as being 20watts.

No and not to worry...
 
Ditto. You should be more concerned with how close it is to your monitor than anything else.

EDIT: FYI, you could drop a 200lbs lift magnet onto your hard drive and not effect the data stored on it.
 
Ah ok, thanks.
buleyb: Why is the monitor believed to be worse than speakers? I have a computer desk, so the distance between the case and the monitor is no more than a foot.
