    I used a Dremel, and I am very pleased with the results. Just use it at a slow/medium speed. It uses friction to cut, and will melt. But just take it slow.

    And also, I didn't have any problmes with things melting back together.

    Then, just break off the weird chunks of melted plexi, file the edges nice, and you're good to go.

    what you gonna do to it?

    my bro is gonna get some plexiglass from work, so im set with that.
    and he has a dremel and hes gonna help me cut the window.
    Im gonna leave the side panel off for easy upgrades, I am gonna add 2 blacklights, a led fan, a usb hub (led lighted) inside the comp, and a bunch of minor upgrades, Project Nighthawk.
