The only advice I'd give is, unless retail comes down drastically, get a refurb. Paying $250 for the NC this late in the production cycle, especially if you intend to root it or use a custom ROM, would be madness, and there is literally no downside to the refurbs. They're generally indistinguishable from a new model (for all intents and purposes, they are new models), they're fully warrantied, and right now they're sitting at $150. Hopefully retail will come down as the holidays approach, but the cost of refurbs will fall right alongside it.
As far as modifications, check out the link in my sig--it provides a decent overview with links to the methods you'd use, so you can decide for yourself if it looks like too much for you.
