I'm moving to a smaller apartment, the subwoofer that is now on my bookshelf might need to be placed on top of the PC case (somehow it fits nicely and no rattling). I have switched to SSD, will the bass cause any problem to the PC?

[Soundy]

No.

Your case might rattle from the bass though.

He just said that there's no rattling

Oops. My bad.

Rattle or not this sounds like a bad idea, I do not know the size of the sub, but if it make vibrations even with an ssd I can't see that being healthy for the computer. I've had my CPU heat-sync come loose a couple times before just transporting my computer from house to house, and being very careful with it at that. Generaly Screws and fasteners in a computer are not meant to be extra tight in order to avoid cracking the circuit board. I could see over time your motherboard board, heat-sync's, case fans, and any thing else screwed/bolted down coming lose.

Put the sub were it's suppose to be, on the floor.

wtf is a heat-sync?

and why would you put a sub anywhere other than the floor? if its small enough to put on a desk, its probably not very powerful either.

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.

try it and report back after a year? my guess is it wont make much difference

80w RMS woofer, and I don't listen to big bass music anymore.

the SSD is placed at the very bottom, I care more about the PSU / BD-rom / heatsinks as mentioned (things with moving parts)

my old 1.5T WD HD died after one small kick, shock resistant means nothing to me.
