Rebuilding a cabinet

Morning all -

So, from all my experience so far, arcade uprights were made from
particle board. That same experience has shown that once wetted, PB
becomes crumbling junk once dry again. Even before it has dried, if any
soaking has occurred. Time itself does not seem to help this stuff,
especially in an environment like the PacNW, hardly any of it is still
smooth just from the moisture in the air.

I need to rebuild a cabinet and wanted to see if there was any consensus
on what to use when doing so. Was PB really the best product, or was it
just cheap? If I were to go to something else, would I be looking at
plywood or some other sheet product? Aside from the aging PB issues,
this cab also appears to have been butchered in a few ways over its life
and given the other damage/issues on the interior, I am planning on
creating a new cabinet, top to bottom, front to back.

Warning, non-Vector content: The game in question is a Tron (sorry if
some of you already read this on the other list), and if any of you also
own one of these, I would love any info you might be able to share on
dimensions, repro art and any leads on good, solid, empty cabinets in
the Puget Sound region are welcome as well.
