Can you build a PC in a mining frame?

I am looking to through together a cheap PC to set up some servers for a few games and have some of the parts. But cases right now are a bit steep in price for the US. I looked at some on Newegg and when I filter for E-ATX, a mining frame came up as one of the cheapest and it seems to mention E-ATX motherboards. Specifically this one:

I am not sure if I will go through with it, but I am curious now.

Yes you can.......

If you want a cheap server hosting machine then anything will do the job.

Lol. Its funny you point that out because I recently put an old system with a single core CPU and DDR memory into a cardboard box. It seems to run but it lacks a fan for the heatsink so I am a bit iffy of the temp. I am actually going to be measuring the temp to make sure it does not reach even half of the temperature cardboard begins to smoke (about 400 f).

A pizza box is a fun idea though.
