Removing Cabinet Parts
Drnick:
Remove the screw first :laugh2: :laugh2: No seriously, if you can get at the screw remove it. (THIS WILL UNDOUBTEDLY AFFECT STABILITY SOMEWHERE) Looking at one of the pictures it looks like an LCD screen in there, If that is the case then I don't think that it will all fly apart on you. The LCD will weigh about 5% if that of what the original monitor would have weighed and most of the bracing would have been installed for the monitor.
If I am wrong about the LCD then feel free to ignore all of the above.

I agree. If there are actual screws on the outside of the cabinet that can be pulled out to release that piece of wood, DO EET! Make sure you pull the monitor out first. :) Then pull out the piece of wood, cut and reinsert. Also if you can try to get some more pics pulled away from the cabinet so we have a better idea of what we are looking at.

Like I said in your other thread you can get blades that will rip through the wood and screws together but they are expensive and it makes more sense to just remove the screws first and then cut.
The dremel's cuts won't be pretty but you aren't looking for pretty, you're looking for "pretty close" to the joint where the two pieces are secured. Remove the actual joint pieces would be done by the chisel/hammer approach.

Something like this might do the trick:

With the Half moon Blade fitted the device above should cut through with very little issues :) Handy little tool.
