Also, I love the look of some of those ones that have the wood pieces instead of just distancers + the default plastic. If I wanted to do that, where do I start? Sorry, I'm sure this has already been covered but after reading quite a few pages I wasn't finding very much concise information. Thanks for any help!
Oh one more thing, some of those headbands look amazingly comfortable. I looked into the jmoney ones I've seen mentioned, but is there another option? The jmoney ones don't look particularly comfortable to me, although maybe I'm wrong.

---Parts for MS1k---
Distancers: DIY or apatN, rds, nickchen , and some others
GS-1000 pads: TTVJ, or Planet of Sound (for Canada)
Tapes, bluetac etc. at your local store
--Headband--
DT770 headband pad (an addition to your plastic headband, quite cheap ~$9 if I remember correctly)
Jmoneyaudio Headband - More expensive, and replacing the original plastic headband ~$44 for v3, $20 for v2 (some other site...try searching on head-fi)
The difference between v2 and v3 are quite large. v3 is noticeably thicker and more comfy. Though very high quality, the v2 just dosn't seem thick enough. However, the Gs-1k pads make your headphones float either way...so you won't feel the headbands that much.
In terms of comfort, it depends on how large your head is. If you require to pull those rods all the way down to fit your head, the DT770 headband pads may not be the way to go. They add thickness to the headband, and as a result shorten the distance from headband to speaker cups. Otherwise, both are very comfortable...
--Woodies--
Many options around...Jmoney audio, the mighty nickchen himself, headphile etc.
