I wasnt sure if I could use it, and it would of been a waste to throw it away. I have a guide from www.cybertechdesign.net but no framing guide can some one send a good link? ;D

You can usaully just make frames and stuff up. I had a cab with the front kicked in; and we repaired it, but in the process it's structural integrity was comprimized. We made up some Cross-Bars from 2x4s and it was fine. If the frame goes into the corners; it will make the joints easy :)

Yes, by all means use it as it's free!!
15/32" is 12mm in my language. I threw together a smallish upright for my kids using 12mm MDF and as already suggested, if you use a few braces connecting the side panels at strategic points it will be plenty strong enough. You'll also have the added bonus of a much lighter cabinet!
Don't worry about not having plans for braces, just use a couple of offcuts that are at least 6" wide and attach them to the side panels using angle brackets.
Just make sure you make a nice solid frame at the base of the cabinet as this will hold it all together!!
