I want to use a hard drive magnet to mount a water res in my new system, would this be safe?
 
It wouldn't be on a side panel, just the bottom of my case. I don't want it tipping over and/or moving around.
 
I don't care how strong the magnet is, if I'm using it to hold down an ass-load of water INSIDE my computer, you can bet your hairy (or shaven) ass that I'll be bolting that mofo down with some screws.

Even thought the magnet may be strong enough to keep it from "popping off", is it really strong enough to keep it from sliding around? Doubtful.

And yes, I have taken apart many a hard drive, and know how strong the magnets are.
