Reptilez, I think I'm gonna use plywood, with lots of polyeurothaine(sp?), what were you saying correct too?
Bartman, cedar is very expensive so I don't think thats a problem anyway, and plywood is from pine I think, but thats why you paint it and put polyeurothaine(sp?), on it...

oh, plywood is like a few sheets of wood in layers, it's hard to explain but you've probly seen it before, ask your parents if there around.... You can also get it very thin which is good because you don't need an inch of wood to keep a monitor in...

polyeurothaine(sp?), is liquid plastic, so the wood won't absorb moisture and rot.

melamine seems to be the cheapest option and the least amount of work (presealed) it should come in sheets of 2'X4', 4'x4' and 8'X4', a sheet of 8X4 melamine costs about 30+ dollars (canadian) if you plan out your cuts you can save money by using fewer sheets and less wood.
When you're done make sure you seal all the joints with 100% clear silicone.

Regarding using thin plywood - don't. Go for the 3/4" thick fr a sav cage, simply because the wood will dip if you make a really long cage, which is what savs require. However, I've never seen Melamine go for $30 or more unless it's textured/colored. White melamine at the Home Depot in Calgary is $23 for 3/4". Maybe it's all the taxes in Ontario.
And yes, as Lisa said, USE SILICONE. You get moisture in between the joints, you'll have a broken cage in no time.
