what tools exactly do you need ? i might be able to help you out .

I just bought one last week at Home Depot. They have some for $10-$20. Some are not sealed so you can actually bring it to the store and cut it there yourself for free. From your picture it looks like it should work, since it's a small cut and doesn't require twisting or anything that would require the cutter to be removed from backing. :D I bought mine so I could mod my MEGA PC 651 hdd bracket. :)

A drill on those rivets would work better....

I've got a dremel if you need a hand... that cut will take all of 10 seconds

send me a msg on msn if you want... jollyeskimo@gmail.com

If it's riveted on the best way is to drill. Nice and clean with little chance of damaging the board. Just use a bit slightly larger than the rivet and drill out just the head part and the other side falls out.
