I've seen folks post about taking the CAD files on that site to a local milling company to have a cabinet cut.  I don't have any experience with that though.

So, I looked at the plans.   the only one that has one  that looks like it's printable ready is the Side Panels.  the rest look all jumbled together.  how would a printer know what to do with them?
first shop that came up when I googled was this site.  anyone use them?  too bad I can't make it out of plastic :).

$2,000's more than the creative arcades one I was looking at and it doesn't look like standard size, so konami art wouldn't fit on it :). nope :).

Not necessarily so.

I would like to know the benefit you think mdf has over plywood as other than cost because I can't think of one.   The stuff is heavier, more brittle on the sides, swells up if any moisture hits it and is far more susceptible to rot if it's in a moist environment.   In addition because of all the issues it has with moisture, you have to seal the edges and treat the surface prior to painting.
