  1. hard drive and monitor

  2. cpu, hard drives,memory

  3. Floppy drive, hard drive I think. I just keep magnets away, but it wont hurt some of the parts.

  4. All of them, if you put a magnet near any part of your computer, especially the CPU it would be tragic. You have to keep magnets away from the computer at all times, and mounting a magnet to a computer would be catastrophic. You are gonna have to mount it at least a couple feet from any part of the computer!

  5. all especially hard drive and floppy drive, you should keep your cell phone away too, it produces a strong electromagnetic field.

  6. The whole computer……….

  7. everything ,moniter,hardrive,motherboard and most everything else.dont bother will cost you more in the long run.

  8. xdon’t know
