In some other posts, some people tell that miners could be dangerous in closed rooms (because of VOC). Tell your son to ventilate his room  Smiley

VOC? whats voc?

ok, found it:

"The real issue are the chemicals released from the heated components - they give off toxic gases when heated - known as VOCs:

i have been in the same room and sleeping with miners on same room for 1 month or so omg... is that dangerous then?? Of course window was always opened and it was ventilated every day but... you scare me now xD

Don't have a heart attack.  I think there would be a lot out there on the subject if running a few machines put off any amount worth worrying about.  I've been looking around and I can't find much on the topic.

Thats another good reason to buy used!! Since most of the outgasing will have occurred with the previous owner.

There we go!!  We didn't know that BFL (and all the others including bitmain lately) was doing everyone a health service by pre-mining (testing) equipment before shipping to deplete all that
nasty VOC before it affected their customers  Grin
