While dismantling electronic scrap I usually have a pair of side cutters in one hand a screw driver the other, whenever I come into a screw thats tight I give the screw driver a tap on the head with the flat side of my cutters. Of course it helps to have the driver inserted into the screws head before hand. The offending screw is now loose enough to remove.
Those nasty nuts on the modem / network cards sometimes on the computer case itself. if you grab them with your side cutters and give em a bend away from the metal shielded plastic plug in, they snap right off. This I have found only works if the nut is fully secured into the card.
Once the nuts have been broken off then the metal shield is a snap to remove, this also make the pins more accessible for removal..
I use the side cutters to twist this piece off, taking some of the board that hold the pins for later incineration, then refining.
