Sounds like you are using the wrong tools for the job. A picture of your cabinet would help, but why not buy/borrow a hand saw? I'm pretty sure that beating the shit out of your future growcab is counter-productive. (and it is likely to cause more stress when/if you fuck it up)
LOL, you're the master of understatement Rusty, lol.

what about the back of the dresser? why not make your access at the back?
usually, the back is just tacked on so should be easy to remove
