The biggest problem with water would be if the shutoff taps for the sink or the drain leaks. Most times no one would notice until it was too late and the particle board has swollen up and fallen apart. I never look that carefully under there.
Since the cabinets in my kitchen have lasted for at least 25 years without problems, I'm going to have the new ones made out of the same kitchen grade particle board. The only difference is that I'm going to get a stainless steel tray made up to fit in the bottom of the sink cabinet and another one to fit under the dishwasher with a moisture alarm.
