hmm..i not sure whether this is the right place to post. anyway, that day our lecturer told us that those package pc from dell, asus etc can prevent radioactive which produced by the pc hardware from spreading out of the casing. compare to cheap casing. is this true? and he said it is very dangerous to let open the side panel of the casing, especially when you place your chassis on the table because you are expose to radioactive. Is this true? thanks in advance.

uh, well everything that gives off light gives of UV rays and radioactivity, nothing to worry about I'm sure...my computer has been on my desk for like 6 years now? i wouldn't worry about it

You have your pet hampster tied to your pc for 10 years as long as you feed it and and nothing could happen

Kinda like "The Rays" that my grandmother keeps saying will make you sick ifyou sit too close to the TV... /rolleyes

I take it your professor gets his technology news from http://www.peta.org Not to mention the kind and ever so knowledgeable folks at http://www.greenpeace.org ?? How about that bicycle powered PC made from radish skins??

YAAAAY!! Makes me want to trade in my brick Ranch for a Teepee!







NOT

I think its more based on EMF. If you do have high EMF readings, it can make you sick, cause skin irritations, and even cause you to see things or make you feel like someones watching you.

I remember that from the ghost hunters.

Edit:

One link I found interesting:

The EMF Safety Superstore

I suspect that your lecturer was referring to relatively low-level EMI noise radiation. There is absolutely no danger to humans. At most, a poorly-shielded case might result in a nearby AM radio picking up more noise.

you will get more "radiation" (Not EMI) from the crt monitor infront of your face than you will from the PC itself. come to think of it, the CRT will have more EMI than the pc too! LOL

hmm..ic.. thank you for all the reply. very appreciate it. ^^
