I've got a friend who's looking into purchasing supposedly "breathable"
computer dust covers.  Is there a need for such in school systems
where computers are inactive during the summer months.  OR would
just any old piece of cloth do?  

Does anyone know of studies done on computers (or even VCR's) of this
nature determining:

1.  Are covers needed at all?  
2.  What is the minimum length of time a cover is cost effective?
3.  Is breathable important and if so, would pretty much anything
      breathable suffice?
4.  How tight do the covers need to be to be effective?
5.  Any thing else in determining functionality.

Thank you
