Heh.  Going out on a limb here, but I don't think Home Despot materials are
ever  gonna be adequate for a quality cabinet. Just going by my experience
with  HD materials.

Actually,  You can get cabinet grade ply there in  1/4 ,1/2,  3/4  $20-$40 a
sheet
If you are hip to airframe type construction techniques its easy to build
strong ,light ,and modular. You might try a book by Tolpin publishing  called
The tool box book
 Also available at HD.

I would use 1/2 with lots of Dados and blind nut type construction
my 2 cents
