... just how strong the magnetic field is, for it to affect the hard drive of a computer at any likely distance. It seems like metal objects would be flying through the air and sticking to the floor. Also, I have to wonder how a static magnetic field would affect most phones. Seems there would have to be an alternating field of some sort to do so. Finally, any links to the 'numbers' (field strength, gauss, whatever the proper term is)?

I have to agree with Gorkman. If I can't see what your box does from A to Z, then I am not going to put my neck on the block for the possible HIPPA violation, let alone trying to track a bug caused by incorrect configuration, extra services such as DNS, etc. This doesn't even take the yearly security audit into account, where I have to explain what your box does. 'I don't know' doesn't go very far with them.
