Short the switch boxes?

Ok, metalworking guys...



Remember those switch boxes that sat under the monitor (way back last century?) Switches for Computer, Monitor, Printer, Aux, ? Sockets in the back for plugs. They are about a foot square and a couple of inches tall.



I'd like to cut a couple of them in half length-wise to fit under a flat screen monitor.



I'm looking for some odd ideas on how to do that. My bandsaw won't cut steel. All I have that can do that is abrasive cut-off wheels )or maybe a hack saw! shudder).



Kinda sloppy for this I think.



Buy some tin snips, ya goof.

No jigsaw or table saw? Some of those boxes are plastic. I have a black plastic 'Newpoint Switcher 2000 Plus' in front of me right now.

is a light colored version on Ebay right now. There are a lot of other brands and models that were sold.

That's a perfect use for a precision lightsaber. Laser OR steel, really.
