i want to stick stuff to the side of my case with magnets but is it safe? i heard only neodymium magnets can damage a computer but how do i tell if its a normal magnet or if its a neodymium magnet?
it can only really damage a hard drive especially if the magnet is strong. i suggest you to get a weak magnet and put it away from the hard disk so your data won't get corrupt.
magnets are safe the only reason why it is dangerous to have them near a hdd is because the data is magnetically stored hdd's have super powerful electro magnets built in to them. If you have a CRT tv or monitor then magnets will distort the image
