I've had them on top of much larger, much less shielded speakers than these without any problems. However, they just went there tonight, and I am going to put some dense foam in there, because I have a tendency to crank when I'm mixing.

exactly. btw, the "goodies" are tobacco. The weed is out of frame.
edit: still trying to figure out what's wrong with the concrete blocks under foam-padded speakers...I guess I should dig through the foundation and pour concrete posts down to bedrock? I've been a little surprised looking through the pictures that people don't try to get more mass under their monitors.

Yeah, the thing that sucks is that I can't run double monitors on the mini, or I'd have even more.

It's a 2.0 core2duo...just one full-size DVI in the back. Pretty excellently solid machine for the money though, I must say. I had a first-gen one a few years ago, and while it was incredibly stable, it was unbearably slow, even with a fast memory/fast hard drive upgrade.

Hey nuxnamon,
what kind of music comes out of such a gear collection? Looks like you are visiting the Matrix every day...
