I just got all my new stuff, and it works great. The only problem is that I heard sub woofers have magnets in the them, and it can damage your computer, i they are too close. Is that right? just incase, I have it about 3 feet away from my computer

Thanks

Any speaker has a magnet. I don't know if it would really affect the computer too much, but it might hurt the harddrives seeing that they are magnettically controlled.

3 or 4 feet should be fine, you would have anything to worry about.

I hate to be so stupid and worried about this whole thing, its just I know what magnets do to computers, and its not good

Satellites are usually magnetically shielded and won't affect your computer.
