You can't really chop bits of the board off, of the manufactureres wouldn't have made it that big in the first place.



With the exception of the Atari... Stupid thing...

Well you can round the entire board down, all the way around to where there is just a sliver left of copper. If there is just a bit, it will still work fine.

Just as the others said, cut down the grounding strip and round out the corners; it's about all you can do. If you need a visual, here's a great example of what we're talking about.

Sure, that's an SNES Mini mobo, but you get the jist of it, right? :wink:
