I use this hard drive to back up my files via TIme Machine, as well as store movies and TV shows on it that i don't want on my computer's hard drive. An external hard drive is very useful, as it frees up a bunch of space on your computer.

Buy used from: $169.99
This is the monitor that I use. It is 22 inches, and has a stunning resolution of 1920 by 1080. You can get this monitor for cheaper on the dell website ($200) than is listed here. It upgrades your screen and it truly is a piece of work. I use a Dell monitor because they are far less expensive than the overpriced Apple cinema displays, and these have great specifications.
