Computer Rig Speakers: How close is too close?

If using non-shielded speakers by your computer-based rig, how close can you place them to LCD displays, external hard disks or the computer itself before it becomes a problem?  I suspect that external HDs will be the biggest problem as the EMI is not visible the way it is when you get too close to a CRT.

 

I suppose it depends on the size of the magnets in the speaker, no?  But how can you be sure that you're not too close?  Is there a "safe" distance?  

 

I currently run M-Audio AV40s but am thinking of upgrading to Adam A5Xs.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No, not at all. Nothing that drastic!
