I used a small beaver. Just turned him loose on the MDF and whammo -- t-molding slot.
Seriously, your choice. Router w/ slot cutting bit the proper thickness for your molding is probably the best bet.
Budget? Have a dremel? Theres a $10 bit that works like a charm. You will burn up your dremel in the process. The part # is around somewhere.
I used that bit in a roto-zip with decent results, albiet with much dust and mess.
I'm the last person to say something like this, but its been discussed to death already, even I found this info by searching. :)

If I had my choice, I would definitely go with the router. The router is built for jobs like this, and the dremel is not. That said, the job is not impossible with the dremel and the right attachments.
I wonder if there is a place where you can rent a router for a day or so..

I'm cheap and routers are only sold in 220V here. I live on base where there is only 110V.
So, I used a drill attachment that worked like a champ. It's basically a slot cutter bit with a guard/gide. I used my codless drill and I was finished in no time. It was about $20.00, so a LOT cheaper than buying a router that I won't be able to use back in the States.
If I were in the States, I'd most definitely get a router. Whenever I get back, I'm getting one.
Good luck!

Use a router. If your dad doesn't have one, ask him if he'd borrow one from a friend or neighbor. I'll sell you my slot cutting bit if ya need it.
