Question What would be a safe material to cover PC with, while not in use

[rodmanii]

If i wanted to cover my pc with something in order to prevent dust from getting in, while the pc is not in use or even if i needed to keep it in storage for a long time, what would be an okay material to do so? With my previous PC, that still works to this day, i simply has been using a plastic bag for years, but recently read that such practice may be dangerous to static.

Not really. The chassis would be in contact with the bag, once you plugged the chassis into an outlet/ground it would dissipate.

Anything should be more or less fine as long as it doesn't shed particles of its own.

Use of a plastic bag is fine. Just discharge static before touching system.

I suppose you could also use a cloth or paper covering.
