I just bought a US Robotics modem and would like to put it on top of or  
near my external hard drive to free up some desk real estate. I know that  
all speakers have magnets in them and was wondering if it is dangerous to  
get a modem with a speaker too close to a hard disk.

I would appreciate any comments or experiences with something like this.

Thanks,
Aaron
