    i know that you said it was being put off, but i just cant help myself.
    take a stack of printer paper and see how it deforms when you gently twist on it, push it, whatever. You can do the same thing as that but put elmers glue (it's really what they use in pro ops) between layers and cut out section for components.

    I was talking to my dad (which this kinda creeps me out find this now) but he was telling me that my brother built a computer in a box. But I think your ideas are way better I think my brother just attached everything inside the box along the edges or something. If he still has it I'll try to get a picture and post it.

    with some paint and nice designs and clean cuts this could be a sweet mod instead of a pile of computer parts in a box lol.

    I spotted this and thought of you...

    Another thing you could do, is stack a bunch of the exposed ends so in effect, it makes a mesh... which would help solve heat related issues.

    You might also want to incorporated corrugated plastic?

    For rigidity, you can pump hot glue down the channels in the cardboard. It makes it almost exponentially stronger.
