Lead-based solder
I have 2 old hard drives in my PC's that seem to have lead-based solder on the circuit boards, and i have a fan that i duct-taped on the hard drive for cooling. I dunno if i have to take the fans off, or is it not that big of a deal. According to MSN.com, that stuff is serious, but i don't really care, especially that people used to use lead everywhere, like in paint and gas. It took like 50 years to find out that it's bad for health. I forgot to mention that my PC's are running with the outside of the case taken off for better cooling.

My friend's mother's colleague's brother's cat died from sitting in front of the computer's exhaust too much, which had lead solder in its circuits!!!
Man, I would go to a doctor if I were you, for that dangerous metal, lead, which dissolves so easily in air in its solid form, is insanely dangerous. And did you know the radiation properties of lead? They are insane, I would be seriously careful being around your computer, especially with fans over the lead solder to blow the lead fumes right into your face.
And is there any thing that you can paint over the lead to keep the lead from vaporizing ?
BTW, i would've went to the doctor, but right now we don't have insurance

The smoking ass says "quit your ridiculous whining and get me a drink".
After a session of soldering with good solder (the lead kind), and after the smell of burning rosin gets in your system (the kind you have to add to the good, non-rosin core solder solder you're using) . . . for some reason a cold coke tastes so incredibly good.
