I've also done a few successful mods with a hacksaw.
One time I used a hacksaw to remove part of a 4-lane PCIe connector on a server motherboard so I could plug in a 32-lane PCIe video card. It worked great.
Another time I wanted to plug in a full-height USB 2.0 PCI card into a (Soekris) embedded SBC low-profile slot (limited by the enclosure), so I sawed off the upper two USB jacks. I had to do some minor rework to the card (reconnecting some of the broken traces with mod wires), but it worked great afterward.
