I'm thinking of trimming some of the plastic on my PC case bezel to widen
the air holes. I have an Antec SLK3700 which don't have very wide intake
holes in the plastic. What is the easiest way to do this? I would only
have to get rid of the little plastic overhangs.

A general tip for anyone cutting plastics.

Just saw a DIY tips programme on TV recently and the bloke was talking about
putting a strip of Sellotape/clear tape over the line to cut in Perspex
which is a similar type of product but a bit harder to cut. The tape melts
at low temperature and lubricates the bit or saw.

I might try a propane torch and a hot steak knife.

Try a soldering gun. With the right tip it can be very useful in modding.

12 Bore works well from close range but only if the barrel is not the
Russian brand Sawnov!
