Mac Pro Smell

I haven't found any recent postings about this so here goes. Does anyone notice a musty smell with the new Mac Pros? I recently purchased the new 8-core and it emits a very musty odor when powered up. My entire room soon smells bad and I have had to resort to a few air fresheners just to be able to work on it. I thought it might have something to do with it coming from China but we also purchased a 2.66 GHZ MAc Pro, that was assembled in CA, at work and it smells the same. I removed the side cover while it was running and the smell is most noticable in the front fan area. Any thoughts on what this might be and how/if it could be fixed. I am hoping it will eventually go away, but I've had the 8-core for over a month and it hasn't so far
