Thanks Guys this is all great stuff never thought that much to be honest think im gonna use MDF seeing as it my first cab and not really that skilled at working with wood.

I know for a fact im gonna have to take it apart at some point when i move so i would rathet this be an easy option rather than a real complex issue.

um, plywood is much lighter than mdf.  also, if your going to the store to buy it, you could always see for yourself.  also, plywood has more strength to it.  now i'm not saying mdf is bad, but it shouldn't be used for everything.  with both i would make sure to have some sort of internal support, too.

You should also check your local lumber distributers for black melamine.  3/4" melamine is pretty common, and it will save you the time of having to paint or laminate many of your panels.  You just have to be careful not to scratch the panels when yu're putting the thing together.  I found a place close to me that sells 3/4" black melamine for $27 for a 4x8 sheet.  It's not as cheap as painting, but it is much less expensive than using laminate and it looks just as nice.

Not sure if it is truly laminated, but it definitely already has a nice hard finished surface. Similar to most prefab furniture if I am remembering correctly.
