he means heat sink, the metal block with a fan that sits ontop of the CPU.
I've heard both sides of the debate. I've had my blackberry ruined and all my cards (debit/drivers license etc.) stop working by placing my wallet and phone on the magnet of a subwoofer. Keep in mind the subwoofer had something like a 10 pound magnet and was running 3000 clean watts of power (6000 peak?).
What kind of speakers are they? Z5500's I'd say no way, some cheapo 2.1 setup, why not? Harddrives are all the way at the bottom of the case in most setups, no way in hell the tiny magnet from a set of 2.1 computer speakers (unless they're z2300's or z5500's) can generate a magnetic field great enough to screw up your drives. And the biggest plus of SSD hd's is their resistance to damage due to shock isn't it? That's the only way I can foresee a subwoofer damaging a speaker, and if the drive is shock resistant, then no big deal.
