I suppose if the computer is really vibrating, then it could be a problem for a hard drive.

I have known people who did damage their hard drives from their speakers that way. If you are going to leave your equipment near loud speakers, then simply switch to solid state drives, and you don't have to worry any more!

"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.'" -- Isaac Asimov
