I modded my 4th gen, and replaced the battery while I was in there. The trouble with mine is that it won’t charge with USB, so I had to spend out on a FireWire charger. Also, the HDD in 4G is IDE, where the 5G+ are SATA, so if you do decide to mod a newer one you’ll need a new adapter.
It is pretty though. And very easy to mod.

“Cable hoarder”? You mean “reasonable person,” right? Maybe “good decision maker”?
