Some fans have open corners, which makes mounting them with EAR fan isolators very easy.
Other brands of fans, like Globe, and Nexus for example, have closed corners . Cutting away the "tube" to open up the corners in a nice professional-looking manner, to facilitate using the EAR mounts is best done, how? Razor blade? Utility knife? Coping saw? Hacksaw ?
Ideas/thoughts please?

i'd just use a hacksaw or something smaller that's serrated and use a file/razor to clean up the outside/inside edges of the holes real quick if needed... really easy to melt plastic with power tools (esp with a rotary tool, high rpm) and kinda overkill anyways. i really like Lance disposable scalpels (#11 blade) for everything you'd use a razor/utility knife for, but those obviously aren't serrated so they're useless for hard stuff.
