After 2 1/2 years of thinking about it, I finally bought three sheets of 3/4″ MDF. Armed with Lusid’s Revision 7 plans, I cut the cabinet sides with a circular saw, and used a jigsaw for the round cut. The most important part about cutting MDF is not to let the wood snap off when you get to the end of a cut (it will splinter & look like crap).
