Location of computer relative to system


Hi, I’m finally getting around to hooking my iMac up to my system using usb. My question is where should I put my iMac relative to other audio components including speakers? Assuming I should keep it away from speakers but what about amp? It would be convenient to place it on my McIntosh MA5200 amp, which is structurally strong, but I am worried about signal interference and the like. Your feedback is really appreciated.

Excellent feedback! The Mc runs pretty cool but I agree heat is not a friend. I will get a longer usb and plug computer into a different ac circuit. Thanks much!
Hi it is hooked up with USB.  I have it sitting on my sub right now which probably isn’t good for either. It sounds great though, can’t hear any increase in floor noise. If I put it on my McIntosh Amp it Willis not block any vents due to their location and the small footprint of the iMac stand. Any other feedback very welcome.
