Ok, admittedly, cardboard might not be the best idea as far as a case goes...

Any better household items as containers? I'm actually thinking I could just put all this stuff on a wooden board and hang it on the wall :o

I'm dead serious.

Only has 1 review and 2 eggs, so I would stay away from that, personally.
Get this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835200029
It's a tiny bit more expensive, but will assure your makeshift case remains safe.

I'm jk, it should come with instructions, and all cpu coolers connect differently, but it's not very hard. All you need is a screw driver.
