Could the vibration from music damage the PC?

i dont think the comp will take anydamage

however if they are not sheilded your monitor might be affected

I had a pair of 15" speakers cranking on either side of my comp for 2 months, so the answer to your question is "no". http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif

Yes, make sure they are magnetically shielded.

........I have recently purchased a new set of powerful audio speakers and have placed bone of them on my computer table....Can this damage my PC?If so how?

[Warthog]

You emailed me about what "shielded" meant and wanted me to reply here.

Actually, I've never seen a speaker that wasn't magnetically shielded. You told me that your speakers were very expensive. They are almost definately shielded.

some speakers for audiosystems are not sheilded

just try to put them next to the monitor
if the screen gets distorted
then just putting a metal shield ie case side
between the mon and the speakers that will work unless the speakers are not too powerfull

The vibration from speakers will not directly affect your PC (the chose of music may affect the user....).

Much like dropping the box from 6-8" won't make a difference either, most likely, kinda sorta. What one may experience would be an insidious problem over time. That being the vibrations MAY cause some of the many internal connectors to loosen over time. The MAY is a big one, but something to be aware about.

Depends how much vibration your talking about. If your overclocking your system and the components are running at higher temps than usual. Some components have fine leads/solder connections. If they heat up and vibrate, after time they can dislodge or snap.
Picture a piece of human hair held on both ends being pulled tight. Now place a lighter a few inches below it. Eventually the heat and the tension with lengthen/weaken and snap/break the hair.

This would be a drastic comparison http://sysopt.earthweb.com/forum/smile.gif Most product are built well enough to handle vibration stronger than what your speakers are putting out.

Weee, I'm done rattling on now.
