You don't have to cut the plexiglass or use molding you instead use screws to secure the plexiglass behind whatever cut your imagination can come up with. This may sound like a ghetto mod to some but the only time anyone will see the backside of the plexi is when you take the side off.As far as the cuts go a nibbler works great, dremels are nice for straight cuts and sanding later, and the best tool to use is a jigsaw because it provides more control than the dremel.If you want to do some really crazy design put it on autocad and take it to someone with a laser cutter.
