You did say this is a dorm room. So the cabinet will be in place for 9 months? I would just put it right on the carpet.
The question: Is it OK to put the cabinet bases directly on the carpet? Or should I rip out the carpet under the cabinets and put the cabinets bases directly on the slab? Advantages? Disadvantages? Random thoughts? Thanks a heap,

************************************************* I do not know where you live but in Florida it is a no-no to put cabinet bases directly on carpet or a slab. The reason for this is that mold grows between them. I have put casters on almost everything and I get the added advantage of being able to move them easily. At the least I would suggest some sort of legs if you can incorporate them into your design. Otherwise when you remove the cabinets, the carpet will probably never recover and you will have a depressed rectangle where the base was. I feel confident that you will come up with a good solution.Peace~ Sir Edgar øøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøøø
