Hello,


I picked 2 of these up reasonably cheap, is it safe to keep em on top of something like my pc case or my A/V amp ? Like so :

Or should I keep this away from my pc ( hard drives) and amp ?
 
Might not be a good idea on top of the AV receiver, as they have vents that may be blocked. They can get pretty hot.

As for the PC case. If you are bothered about the speaker magnets causing damage to the PC components, I don't think any harm will be done. I saw some tests that were done, where HDD's were left directly on fairly large speakers. Nothing happened. They found you would need some pretty powerful magnets to knacker a HDD. Also there is too much distance between the speaker woofers and the HDD's inside the case. You'd have to plonk the magnet directly onto the HDD to have any chance of damage.
