Hey guys, i recently dug up an old computer of mine (bought it in 2002) and i turned it on. A blast of dust came out of the PSU when the fan kicked on. This is going to sound really dumb, but about 30 seconds after its been on, i noticed a strange smell. So I put my nose up to the fan and smelled it. I heard about how computers use brominated flame retardants and they are in computer dust and are toxic. Im pretty sure i inhaled some dust too. Is this exposure a cause for concern?
