I was just on pinterest, did you sewers out there know you can put sticky back magnetic strips on your sewing wall and put your metal bobbins on them. OMG! what a great Idea.

If it is strong enough magnetic could also hold scissors.

Will the magnetic strips interfere with our machines if you get it too close to the computer parts?

Yes. It seems like a good idea -- however, you should keep all magnets away from all computer components. Even magnets on the outside of a computer tower (desktop) can interfere with normal operations and data.
It is also possible that the bobbins will become magnetic themselves. Even in a old mechanical machine that could cause problems.

my metal bobbins are for regular phaff sewing machine. I have it on its sewing table.

Rescuer, that was my first thought, as I have had pins that were in one of those "catch" dishes become magnetized over time.

I have had my scissors that stay next to my machine become magnetized. Pins started sticking to them. Had to buy a de-magnetizer and run them over it from time to time.
