I was just playing on my computer when I accidentally hit it with my knee, making the whole thing shake. I am afraid that I might
have damaged something like the harddrive. Nothing weird happened its just that I am worried that something got damaged. How well would a 1TB hardrive and other components hold up in a coolermaster haf case if it was struck with someones leg? are there any tests I can run to make sure that my hardrive is ok?

You could try and turn your computer on to see if its working. I suppose after that you could run hdtach or hdtune diagnostics to make sure everything is fine. Other then that, if there is actual physical damage you would get cyclic redundancy checks and you would not be able to boot into the hd. Unless you knocked the entire case over i am pretty sure you are fine.
