Dell Optiplex 7020 Case Trimming Advice

I'm planning to put a fan in the front of my 7020 case, but I need to cut these two nubs off so they don't interfere with the fan blades.

What's the best way to do this?

Using a dremel would take hours and I'd have to remove or seal up everything inside and the thickness and shape of the nubs prevents me from just hammering them flat.

The nubs are steel sheet metal, about .07" thick. They're about 1.1" in diameter at the base and kind of a cone/dome shape.
