Using your to-scale drawing, figure out how big the board needs to be.

I left a little more room for the power cord to enter on one side.

Cut by scoring repeatedly (light pressure is fine) with a matte knife. Flip board, mark carefully, and repeat on the other side. Then you should be able to flex it a few times and it'll fatigue and snap.

(If you watch the video, I didn't really score it enough. Still made a fine edge anyway.)
