This is awesome !!

What kind of saw and sawblade are you using?

Fixer - Contestar

Manual hacksaw is probably the best choice. Any power tool is liable to burn the plastic and produce fumes which you don't want to be inhaling.

Judging by the position of the cable, the pcb is placed away from the numerical keypad, so I would guess you should be able to do it.
