Removing Cabinet Parts
kahlid74:
Drnick and jdbailey have the right ideas. You're basically going to use a cutting tool (Jigsaw/Dremel/Hack Saw) and cut as close to the side as you can. For the top join you can do the same OR you can take a Chisel/Screw driver, wedge it in with a hammer and keep going until you separate the pieces. It's a slow process and it works but be patient.
SIDE NOTE. Those pieces were originally used to support the arcade monitor in there. If you remove them be very careful what stress you put in that middle piece of wood. It may not be as strong as it was with those in there.

Pieces like that Are most likely stapled (from the side panel in) and glued.
After removing it, you may wanna also get some bracing to keep the cabinet sturdy

THANK YOU all who took the time to respond - appreciate it. There's not much space in there to work with, so I'm thinking that I might need to use more of the chisel and hammer approach. Also, a Dremel tool can be used to cut wood nicely? In that regard, I can use it for both the removal of the block and the 'carving' out of some of the wood on the top joint?
THanks again.
Richardgregory:
I forgot to ask: what if the end block pieces have a screw in it and is securing it? Not sure how I can take a hacksaw to it since there might not be enough room for me to angle the blade in.
