Where can I get 5/8" MDF and 1/8" birch veneer?

Thanks for the suggestions! 

A little background on what I'm trying to do.... the problem stems from the 1/8" wood veneer that has to go on top of the trackball and the plexi that goes on top of that (instead of just artwork of a negligible thickness) and the plexi which would then lay flush with the lip. 

I don't think cutting that chamfer in the plexi will be too difficult with the router. 

I also want to use 3/4" t-molding on the edges to match the rest of the cabinet.  I realize that the thickness I have laid out is a little bigger (5/8" for the MDF, 1/8" for the veneer and 1/8" for the plexi) but I plan on chamfering the bottom edge of the CP by 1/8" so as to give the illusion that it is actually 3/4" thick overall (I suppose I could try chamfering the edge by 1/4" and use 3/4" MDF and avoid all this.... hmmm... I wonder if it will look right though).  Alternatively, maybe there's a 1/16" veneer I could buy, I don't know...

OK, I just got off the phone with the local lumberyard and they had no idea where to get either material in the thickness I'm looking for.  It does exist, right?  They said I'd have to order a palette if I placed a special order - a 2'x4' sheet was out of the question. 

Anyone have any ideas?  Can anyone help solve my "CP sandwich" problem?  Thanks!!!   :cheers:
