Unlike Robert I hate starting a machine from scratch as I keep finding extra stuff I need to install to get it all working. However sometimes it is better as it gives you a chance to rationale and get rid of dross.
If you use something like SuperDuper! and then it makes a direct copy of your current HD.
At the end of the SuperDuper! run it reboots the machine from the new superduper drive copy to prove that it works.
The whole process is pretty transparent.
Next stop is to open up the machine and remove the CD/DVD drive and install the SSD. You will probably need some sort of brackets as the SSD is only 2.5 inch form factor whilst the DVD writer is 5.5 inch. These should be obtainable at a non-Apple but Mac supplier. There is a place in Melbourne or Geelong that probably has these, the people are very helpful in the Geelong store as I remember from 2007/8.
If you get problems then PM and I can help.
