mdf router box
 

the title says the main part. i've cobbled together a dial-up router out of spare parts and FREESCO software and need to build a box for it. i'm thinking mdf would be a good cheap option, the only thing is should i go with 1/2" or 3/4" board, i'd be screwing into the end of it so that would be a factor, anybody used 1/2" with success before? i'm asking because i'd like to get 1/2" but don't want to get a 4x8 sheet of it only to find it isn't gonna work for me. thanks. will post info on the software, and pics later if people are interested.
