I just bought some fan filters to cover up the openings on the case doors:

These things are awesome, but they stick to the case via magnets. Can anyone comment on how "healthy" this is for the computer components in the case? Or are the magnets too weak to do anything?

I use one on the side of my Scout and it works great and cleans up easly, I am going to try these on my 690, the front fan and bottom fan along with the bottom of the psu, I hate dust!

Eh after I've seen what my brother has done with magnets, I'm extremely paranoid about them.

What did he do?

cs_maan

He's ruined 3 TV's so far, one hard drive, one monitor. I think the hard drive was with a little sissy magnet too, the others somehow he got his hands on neodymium magnets...and yeah permanent damage.

So now, we keep magnets away from him, not even joking, my family does not allow him to have magnets.
