Any hardware store. Home Depot gets about $20 a sheet.

Thanks guys, that what I thought, but I din't want to go to Home Depot if I didn't have too. I'd end up spending a couple hundred bucks...

actually, those are 1/4 sheets.

Most places don't stock the MDF, but they can all get it.

I got an 84 lumber 20 minutes away that stocks 4x8 sheets for $20. Only problem is I have no truck, so I always have to borrow someones when I need more.

Goto some sort of large store closeout, particularly old stores, where they sell their display shelves and tables and whatnot. Much of that stuff is 3/4 inch mdf, and can be had cheaply.
