Like you, I have found myself inundated with cool gear-related products to spend my money on this holiday season. One such product actually looks like a useful addition for those who have an iMac or an Apple Cinema Display. The BackPack from twelve south is a little shelf that attaches to the back of an iMac or a Cinema Display where it adds a spot to store things. It’s the perfect size for an external disk drive or other peripheral, and it’s perforated metal so it should provide good ventilation for whatever you put there.
You can have more than one BackPack on your monitor, although at $30 you might stick with just one.
The company also has a very cool MacBook stand that is the most elegant product of its type I have ever seen. I can’t see dishing out $50 for it, though.
