I use a dremel... I use a cutting wheel first, then finish up with a grinding tool to smooth it out so it doesn't cut the crap out of my fingies while I'm putting the molding in.

Also, the straighter you cut, the less clean-up work you have to do... Basically, just take it slow. I also found out if you power around corners and edges, it'll make your life easier... my first corner I cut, I had to go back over a couple of times to get the "waves" taken care of 'cause I tried lifting and cutting... just push through it.

Also, if your cut looks a little raw, don't worry about it... just smooth it out as best you can and put a strip of molding on it.

Good luck with it... a real sense of accomplishment when you get it put in and fire up your rig with a cathode... knowin' YOU did it!

Whoops... Sorry, I've studied five chapters this morning... 2 from a Server+ study guide, a chapter from my Linux+ and another 2 from a MCP study book... brain is kind of fragged (on top of a situation I'm trying to get sorted out).

Uhh... cool designs... cool designs... uh... how 'bout cuttin' out really detailed Cobra or something... that'd look pimp!

Very clean cut tot31 Nice Work!
I suggest you get some thin (under ½ or ¼ Inch) wire loom and clean up that wiring.
I would suggest Braided Sleeving but its just too damn hard to put on unless you have the time and will to do it.
In either case I suggest

Ahh, well... here's how I think of avatars, it might help: Think of a crazy 1950-80's pop culture icon, and warp it a little. Then Take a dremel to dat ho and make it clap.

Oh, that and I was going to to take various drill bits and create a nauseating gradient. Pretty cool, I have to pshop that 4 u
