thats what I was looking at maybe a 2TB USB 3.0 and ive seen a backplate that goes onto the back monitor mount so you cant see the drive.

a twelvesouth backpack is what i think you're referring too.

i would replicate what others have said and say an external hdd or 2.

i wouldnt worry about a cd/dvd drive, this day an age you can do without one.

A decent mouse, Logitech Performance Mouse MX is a good 'un.

Yeah, the mouse is dodgy IMO but decide for yourself if you want to replace it don't just do it on our word.

passey89 · 28 Mar 2013 at 21:18

im liking the magic mouse atm tbh.

probably not so much when i put windows on as well and try to play a few games
