I've done virtually no soldering work in my life but have become interested in playing around with compact Macs. I have 2 now that need some work done on the analog boards, can someone recommend the basic tools I'll need to get started?

Obviously a soldering iron of some kind, but Im lost when it comes to type of solder and flux and all these other associated products at my local electronics store.

Thanks!

Edit: Would something like this http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=TS1651&form=CAT2&SUBCATID=953#1 be ok to get started?

Would I need anything else?
