Cardboard PC with decent specs

Hi everyone! Isobethehen here with a new build for the winter break. You might have seen my old build that I attempted in the summer of 2017 that used acrylic. https://imgur.com/a/AY2mr This time, I wanted to go super cheap and make a case out of cardboard. I also recycled a laptop monitor from a previous project here https://imgur.com/a/kzHivK1 It came together very nice and there are no thermal issues which was my biggest fear. Some of you might say something about fires and stuff because it is made out of cardboard but the inside is completely lined with the vinyl which is a insulator and unless there are any sparks flying out the case, it shouldn't spontaneously combust.
