Nothing is going to happen in the computer. But if you place it on CRT monitor then it would disturb the colours.
The image quality of the monitor, especially the color, can be adversely affected if the internal components become magnetized. This can happen from exposure to a magnetic field (by putting a magnet such as that in a stereo speaker near the monitor's surface) or through physical shock to the CRT, and sometimes even by something as simple as changing its orientation. Magnetization manifests itself through splotches of color on the screen, especially in the corners.
The process of eliminating magnetization on a CRT is called degaussing (the unit of measure of magnetic inductive force is the gauss, named for mathematician Karl Friedrich Gauss). Most modern CRTs today include built-in degaussing circuits. Some have a manual switch to activate the circuit, some do it automatically and some offer both as an option. The degaussing circuit uses a coil of wire to neutralize magnetic fields within the CRT.

BIG PROBLEMS IF U DO:
1. May distroy your hard drive since it is very sensitive to magentic items.
2. Mess up your screen, ONLY if you use a CRT not and LCD the magnet does not affect the LCD
3.Could distroy or interferre with your speakers.

I've never done it myself but I've seen it done before. It left a permanent purple mark on the monitor... though this was well over ten years ago so I don't know if today's lcd monitors would be affected in the same way.

no, but my my friends TV got messed up by his nanny's daughter who put a magnet on his TV. she's only like 3.

It's called degaussing and is still used today in mainframe shops to destroy data on tape cartridges. It works I promise you so it's not something I recommend you do to your PC.

No, but i'm sure a strong enough one could mess some thing up in there...
