I want to build a lightbox for taking studio-esque pictures....

[aphex]

I had two ideas...

#1. Posterboard glued and/or nailed togeather to create 3-4 sides of a box.
#2. Wood, painted white, same concept.

Any reccomendations?

You mean a diffuser for a strobe, like a sun-light, or like a box to place something in and photograph it against all white like for product photography?

Unfortunately the details of his setup are quite vague...

square box like you described would work for that, particularly with PS done afterwards - If you notice the top left corner of PSP, has no detail because highlights are blown.
