It's much sturdier, dosen't chip, and will last practically forever. Plus you don't have to laminate it if you don't want. Your real old arcade machines used plywood, and that's why alot of them have survived (structuraly at least) today.

: My cabinet has been on hold for four months now because I've switched jobs and moved. Now, finally, here I'm settled in and ready to finally finish the damned thing, and it turns out that nobody here in Seattle carries 5/8" MDF.

: All I have left to do is the control box and panel, and I suppose I could redesign it to use 1/2" MDF... but before I do, I thought I'd ask here: does anyone know where I can get the 5/8" stuff up here? Eastside preferable, but I'll drive up to fifty miles to get it.
