I would try gluing some aluminum foil all around the inside. That way your water won't eat through the card board and it also would be less likely to catch fire. You could also use some window or door seal foam strips to line the gap around the lid to hold temps/humidity too.

I'm working on an Avon-inator. I took an Avon box and lined the inside and lid with a layer of bubble wrap. I still have to get all the rest of the components installed but I thought I'd mention it. I think the bubble wrap will help with insulation and keep the cardboard from being effected by the water/humidity.

Don't use a cardboard box, use a metal box, or a much larger styrofoam or plastic box. Why not steal a wooden drawer from your parent's room (not your own, of course, fill them with socks), stick on a clear perpex lid and hey presto??
