Your local Home Depot or Lumber Yard Hardware Store will carry it.

The only thing I found at Lowes and Home Depot in terms of laminate was countertop laminate for $50 per 4x8 sheet.  They don't even sell laminated MDF.

That's one of the main reasons I ended up buying the UAII kit -- it already comes with a nice black laminate material on the pre-cut boards.

yes that would have been sweet unfortunately i built mine from mdf as mameroom wouldnt ship to uk. I have been to many our local home depot uk eqivelent b&q and the like but no joy with a laminate cover sheet. so a bit stuck as to where i can buy some

FWIW, I opted to skip the expensive laminate on my UAII cabinet and just used several coats of primer and satin black paint.  While it's definitely not as durable as laminate, I haven't had any problems with it scratching or chipping.
