    I need another PC, I have the bits to build one except a case, could I use some of the many cardboard boxes I have lying around, google throws up many cardboard box PC's but is it safe to use in the long run?

    Thanks :clap:

    Was going to build it tonight as I am in work tomorrow and thereafter for a while ^_^

    Well, Cardboard begins to burn at around 100c, maybe a little more.

    I run my daily setup on a carboard box, with the PSU, HDD and DVD drive inside it.
    Havnt had any issues at all yet,
    Makes it sooooo much easier when swapping hardware in and out while benching.
