Bear, I know you have got stereo, I think you may help me solve this.
Did you ever that air vibration could cause damage to the PC or other fragile glasses?

My bedroom isn't really big, but it has got a big bed, two stereos, a three-layered PC desk, Two PCs...
The two stereos are put on the top layer of the PC desk, and the two PCs at the bottom; there is actually less than 2 meters separation between the two stereos and PCs.
Whenever the 5.1 stereo is turned on, the subwoofer will start to cause everything nearby to vibrate. Sometimes I can feel myself shaking as if there was earthquake. I am afraid the two PCs and the windows in my bedrooms can't afford to suffer such the disturbance.
Any suggestions?

It might be a problem at higher volumes, you bet. Even thought the HDDs are probably isolated from shock, a big enough jolt could cause the read head to jump..
If you keep some distance between the computer case and the speakers, you may be okay, but I'd be worried it's close to causing issues if it's shaking you.

So what would happen if the "Read Head" jumped? :confused:
Can I fix this problem?

Well, as long as the read head doesn't contact the platters of the HDD, it might just restart the system and possible corrupt some data. If it's severe enough to cause the head to contact the (rapidly) spinning HDD platters...it isn't pretty. At 5400 or 7200+ RPM, anything contacting the spinning disk is going to do some catastrophic damage.

Fixing it?
Less volume, speakers further from the computer...that sort of thing.

For the short term rpm, what does it mean actually?
for 7200 rpm, does it means that 7200MB of data can be read in a second?
What I know for rpm so far, is that the larger number it has, the faster the data can be accessed! :)

It's the speed at which it rotates, in this case Revolutions Per Minute, or RPM.
