Is that a working pc? If so, the magnets in the speaker MAY damage/corrupt the HDD.Also,might add some distortion to the audio path if analog sound is output from the PC sound card. I maybe totally off with my points, so wait for gurus to respond.

Are the speakers magnetically shielded? If so there won't be much problem. Infact I have also placed my CC speaker on the htpc.

Generally, the center speakers are supposed to be magentically shielded.
Apart from that, the speaker should ideally be placed on a rigid base and not on a hollow metal box (i.e the PC cabinet) from SQ perspective that is.

I don't think a speaker magnet is powerful enough to cause any damage to a hard drive.
The reason why this myth still prevails is because older magnetic media such as floppy drives and audio tapes were especially susceptible to data damage from strong magnetic fields.
The sound quality might suffer though, because most speaker cabinets vibrate (they shouldn't!) and hence perform well when they have a stiff rock solid base.
