These are more realistic things to worry about when modding and a pro knows how to do the job right the first time. If you are not comfortable with soldering then let someone experience do it but don't let someone that has never modded a PS2 before give you lame excuses that don't even make sense scare you away. Alex if you want to know why modding is the way to go then just get your PS2 modded and you will probably change your mind.
