What is a saft distance to place a non-magnetic shielded sub from a computer?

I have a Polk PSW10 sub. It is not magnetically shielded. I understand this can be a problem for computers and screens. I need to know how far away I should keep these items apart.

I would do at least 3 feet, since hard drives are not a big fan of vibration either.

How much of a difference would a subdude make? http://www.auralex.com/sound_isolation_subdude/subdude_hd.asp

I have heard good things about subwoofer isolation stands like that, but have not had a chance to use them myself.
I do have these Auralax isolation pads under my KRK monitors though: http://www.auralex.com/sound_isolation_mopad/sound_isolation_mopad.asp -
The PSW10 doesn't really produce sub bass frequencies (40hz @ -3db), shouldn't vibrate any more than a set of normal full range speakers. As far as the effect on screens, there's nothing to worry about unless you are still using an old CRT monitor or TV. Hard drives themselves are shielded, it takes a very strong magnetic field to erase data, a speaker magnet won't do it.
