Your computer is built into a metal case, is it not (concealed within a plastic shell of course)? In which case it should provide some level of shielding regardless of the lack of protection provided by the speaker itself. It's a common misconception that speaker magnets with a long range low density magnetic field can corrupt data on a hard disc. A hard disc uses very intense short range magnetivity to write data to the platter. This range is usually no more than a few millimetres. There is no way that a speaker magnet even centimetres away from a drive could damage the data directly.
Jam it back in, in the dark.

I said directly because I couldn't 100% guarantee you wouldn't suffer from data corruption via data being affected through the cabling that goes in and out of the drive (picking up external EM radiation), but this is very unlikely.
How ya doing, buddy? |
