Default Ballast placement help

Hi guys,

I'm hoping you could help me out. The other day I put up this shelf for my 250 watt magnetic metal halide ballasts, which was recommended to me by my electrician to keep air flowing all around them. The tank will be moved up against the shelf, so you won't see it from the front. As you can see I've got my controller on the shelf next to them, and my question is this--will the magnetic ballasts affect the controller in any way? I've always thought you should keep any type of computer away from anything magnetic, but I'm not sure if this applies to metal halide ballasts. If anyone could help me out I'd greatly appreciate it!
