Could you better explain how to do the rear I/O soldering?

[ectoplasmosis]

Eh? Not much to explain, it's all in the thread with nice big pictures.

I mean, it doesn't explain which points I need to solder what cables to, and I'm pretty much a complete n00b at rewiring and such

You'll need to use a multimeter to ascertain which solder points correspond to the correct connector pins of each port. Don't forget to twist the USB and Firewire data lines.
