James:

I haven't put together a guide because I don't think it's all that necessary. There's enough information on the OP that will get your iPod opened and diyModded. If you're really that uncomfortable doing it, I can do it for you. Essentially you need to crack it open, desolder two SMD caps and two SMD inductors, solder two tiny gauge wires and you're set. The most intimidating part of the mod for most would be opening the iPod, but there are plenty of walkthroughs on the internet, two of which I've listed in the OP.

Here's a pictorial:

Here's the video for the iPod video:

Hope all goes well for you.
