Ok taking my PC to a LAN 1 hour away, and i got a subwoofer. Will that trip damage my computer? I will have the comp on its side on my backseat, and my subwoofer will be thumping... input?
 
Turn your radio down perhaps? Heh.

Anyway, I've traveled with my PC in my car plenty of times with no damage, and I wouldn't really worry about it.
 
ok, would the subwoofer damage the internals of my comp by any chance? I dont think it would becuase it would just rattle the case internals a bit, but what is ur professional opinion?
 
Rattling a HDD with that kind of force... might be bad...
the magnetic part wont hurt at all, but, the physical rattle may indeed...

Just... turn down your sub.
 
that you should have asked the question an hour earlier? :p


the most suceptible component is likely the hard drive, and since its powered down and not spinning it should be locked out with likely the head off the platter these days
I still wouldnt personally be cranking the tunes too much, there are connections that could concievably see a bit too much vibration and lead to metal fatigue of the connections
Im thing the big caps in the PSU here
 
put bubblerwap all inside the case

then strap it in with ur seatbelt and GO

thats what ive done multiple times
