Just built my friend a pc, we had to do it in a shoe box because he didn't have enough money for a case, are there any actually drawbacks to it being in cardboard other than having to turn it on with a screwdriver?

you will be fine if you're using it as a temporary meausure, the ignition point of cardboard is well above your average cpu temp, but dont use it for more than that, cordboard is prone to dust and that can quickly become a fire hazard

>cordboard is prone to dust
What do you think that even means? Do you think the wood pulp magically attracts airborne fibers? By what property exactly does that happen?

Cardboard has a larger surface area than the inside of a proper PC case. Higher surface area is a larger surface for dust to collect. Smaller surface area, smaller surface for dust to attach to and collect.

Maybe you should attend high school again buddy. Everything has a static charge. Dust is statically attracted to everything, including cardboard boxes.

Anyways, depending on the setup, poor airflow may be observed.
Lack of proper mounting solutions for hard drives and such, but if you don't bump into them often you should be good.
The last drawback would probably be lack of proper grounding points for the board.
