Taking a computer along...

I was wondering if and when I leave Holland, am I allowed to take a computer along with me? Or will UAE customs require that the harddisk is checked first?

Serious, what concerns me is the 25 years of files stored on my harddisk, and yes, the backups as well. Otherwise known as the Exports Managers "Little Black Book With Connections".
