Default maybe a stupid question about magnets

ok, i just got a new desk that has a door on it that has a magnet that holds it shut. My question is, these magnets will not do any damage to my PC will they? they're not big magnets, about an inch in length, about half an inch wide, and there's 2 of them. They shouldn't damage the PC should they, the PC will be about 5 inches away.

... They cud be neodymium rare earth magents . In that case... Hide everything that is electronic, or has an electronic barcodes

Nah, they will be normal bar ferros magnets, weak and brittle coated with nickel for extra shine most likely. Their nothing to worry about .

p.s. Ste, nice rig there.

The magnets used on the door are like the flat ones I stick on my case, they are harmless. A pencil sharpener would do more damage.

Yeah, the difference is, this question might seem stupid, where as your questions are just useless.
