it would a lot safer to get a proper casing for that. You're looking
at a fire hazard with a cardboard box and those components.
Not to mention throwing small but annoying amounts of RF interference
everywhere... there's probably a cell site technician, ham radio
operator, or similar -- trying to figure out where "that damn noise
source" is.
RF shielding has gotten pretty poor on modern cases, but a cardboard
box takes the cake.
