I have a pre-2008 Mac Pro sitting under my desk at work all day, every day... WTF!

I wonder if Steve Jobs uses a Mac Pro?

The dose makes the poison.

For comparison, LD-50 of oral benzene in rats is 930 mg/kg. LD-50 of oral caffeine in rats is 192 mg/kg. Your coffee is 5x more toxic, given the same dose.

My 2007 Mac Pro has been in the shop for exactly this smell, but the service center couldn't 'notice anything'. My Mac Pro reeks the most when in sleep mode. Apparently they stress test the machine with software, and my guess is this spins up the fans and as such, all the smelly air get's pushed out the back.

I'm very worried, and am calling AppleCare tomorrow

That is really stupid that you would think that there is enough benzene being emitted to kill you. The human nose can detect scents at concentrations far below what it takes to injure or kill you.

Oh noES, I smell a CHEMICAL!!!!!!
