Cross-braces are very good in cabinets that need the airspace as part of a back chamber or something. But where chambers are formed that are just dead space, I suggest using injection form instead. This does two things - It braces the panels AND it fills the dead air space.

The trick is to drill holes to use for filling. Be very careful with this - overfilling will split the panels with ease. I have found that the "quick curing" foam avaliable at local hardware stores does not cure in a homogenous mass, so it will grow in "stalagtites" within the cabinet and can split the cabinet long before it is full. So be careful with this stuff.
