BackPack shelf for your iMac proves there are always more places to store clutter

Call us crazy (our parents sure have), but we think this thing is awesome in a "this can't be a real item for sale" kind of way. TwelveSouth's "Mac exclusive" BackPack shelf attaches to the back of iMac and Apple Cinema Displays, providing a place for your Mac mini, hard drive -- or your Dr. Beverly Crusher figurine. They run $29.99, or you can get a six-pack for $150. Yes, a six-pack.

Just clicked on the link to purchase from the Apple store... Would love if the next iMac looked like the mockup which is used to display the BackPack. Or is it a leak to new hardware? Why would/could they not show actual pictures of a current iMac with the BackPack on?

Silly me. It's the 24" Display on the Apple website. Never seen the back of one. Still, would be nice if new iMacs had that back instead of the nasty black plastic one.

Cool idea, how about one that uses the VESA mount holes for us non imac/cinema display users?

Oh and reduce the price!

Or you can just put it on your desk you freaking crazy OCD Mac user.

I wonder how much the licensing fee is...

I want a Wesley Crusher figurine so I can tie it to a Macbook battery - and hope it will catch fire.

$30?
For that price I'd want all edges bent upwards so it isn't so easy for things to slide off it to the left and right.

I'd also want a USB hub thrown in.

I'd also want made by an unknown Chinese company unmarketed with Apple-isms for $1 a pop, 50 cents a pop in quantity.

I'm obviously in the wrong business if this thing sells.
Thank You.

THE GOOD IDEA !!!

A $30 piece of aluminium novelty junk for an iMac? It would probably sell if it was made by Apple.
