I'm trying to design a modification of Bourbon Moth's giant cabinets.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NX6FBYHyLrw

He's got four carcasses, each with one drawer on the bottom and doors at the top, with a quarter inch ply back behind the doors. For the drawer, he put a 3/4 panel at the back, to which he attached blum undermount slides.

I want mine to look pretty much the same, except a total of 74" tall, and I want two drawers at the bottom. My thought is to make each of the four sections in two pieces: a lower piece, 30" high with two drawers, and then an upper piece sitting on top with the doors and shelves behind it. face frame. But I'm not sure how to mount the undermount slides for the upper drawer. I know I can use side mount Accurides by adding a filler to accomodate for the face frame, but I'd like to stick with blum undermount.

Is the easy answer to just use a 3/4 ply panel for the back and affix the slide for the top drawer the same way I do for the bottom? Am I missing something better that would not use up so much 3/4 ply?

Thanks in advance. sorry, my sketchup skills aren't good enough yet to post a picture of what I'm talking about, but I think it's pretty straightforward.
