Vash:
So we're taking part of the back off with a dremel right now, but what parts should we be extra sure to stay away from?  I've read a lot about the charge staying in part of the TV long after it's been unplugged, but no one bothers to mention which part it is.  Is it more towards the front?

ahofle:
How are you even going to see what to stay away from if you are just dremmeling the back plastic?  Seems like a bad idea to me unless you are absolutely sure you are not anywhere close to the electronics.

Vash:
You can see through the vents with a bright light, and straight down to the bottom from about 2 inches back it's perfectly clear of any electronics.  It's already been dremeled and will hopefully fit just fine, but I'd still like to be absolutely clear on what parts to stay away from at all costs.  There's a small square electronic chip at the back of the tube which has wires connected to it, and it's fairly close to the open portion of the TV.  It would just ease my mind a bit to know if the main source of danger was closer to the base of the TV where it would be difficult to reach (only the top-back corner of the TV has been cut out).

ahofle:
Definitely stay away from is the little suction cup (anode cap) which usually has a red wire coming out of it.  Other parts to absolutely avoid from http://www.peachpit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=759704&seqNum=2 :

Shouldn't have to take a lot off anyway, and most TV's are just squared off at the back for aesthetics so with the tilt of the screen you should be well clear of thecap and you will probably find all dangerous/sensitive parts are metal shielded inside anyway.
