| Oldskool:
While I know that computer speakers are magnetically shielded, how about subs? I plan on using a sub in my cab, but don't want to fry a hard drive. As an option, I'm thinking that a piece of MDF inserted between my mini-tower and my sub might do the trick. Thoughts..............? |

The magnatism is not the only thing that will mess a hard drive up, get a sub going pretty loud within a foot of a hard drive operating and you will fry the bearings quicker than the magnatism will destroy the data. The noise Vibration might be worse than the magnatism. |

I'm planning to isolate the mini-tower using some sort of vibration dampener. (foam or springs) |

Get some sheet metal to attach to that mdf that you are laying in there. That will help ensure no magentic forces can get to your HD |
| Oldskool:
Really? Sheet metal? How about rubber or another non-magnetizable material ? |
