I just put together my pc into a new case (Corsair 500R) and I am having a little issue as to where put my left speaker from my 2.1 speakers :/ I really do not have any other place to put it and it was in the same place with previous case but it wasn't near the hard drive back then because my HDD was located in different spot so there was quiet a distance from them. Now the hard drive is located in the HDD cages so it's pretty close to the speaker as you see on the attached photo

Will this damage my Hard Drive and changing the placement of the speaker is a must, or Everything will be fine and I can have it there?
 
Solution
no issue- those speakers are designed for use around computers and therefore are magnetically shielded. Even if they weren't, the magnet inside the HDD itself is probably more powerful than the tiny magnets in speakers of that size.

The speakers are Creative Inspire T3100 and I do not know if they are shielded or no, are you 100% sure that there will be no issue? (I need a confirmation)

... hmm ok I done a little search before sending this and I went here http://us.store.creative.com/B000IVL3DE/M/B000IVL3DE.htm it says



so maybe there are shielded, but I would still prefer to have a confirmation.
