Giveaway Review: BackPack Shelf for Apple iMac, Cinema Displays

[imran11419]

I just got this for my 27 in iMac, it works great, except that my desk is against a wall, and the back pack steals about an inch of real-estate from the back, making the computer seem too close when I sit in-front of it. Small price to pay, I'll just sit further back. Overall, great gadget, it really helped me clear up some space on my desk.

[mozdonny]

A shelf...

And a particularily useless one hmm.

Nice innovation there apple!

[toranaman]

@mozdonny wasn't made by apple

[mozdonny]

@toranaman Yeah well, sorry for the inaccuracy.

It is still a particularily useless shelf.

[radexpp]

@mozdonny how's that useless? You can place there, for example, the hard drive you use for time machine without making a cable mess. It's perfect for all us cable haters ;) It makes iMac even more "zen" ;)

[mozdonny]

@radexpp Mate, you can place it into the chassis of a regular computer you know, so there is a compact shelf, with cooling and defense against regular dust.

The cable mess is a connector in a regular PSU that you connect your harddrive to, or if you were talking about an external HDD with some fast interface connector like USB 2.0/3.0 firewire, thunderbolt or whatever it uses, you can still place it in the PC case by all means!

[radexpp]

@mozdonny Well then it's not really the case of whether BackPack is useful, but rather Mac vs PC war ;) I understand your point, and I respect it, but I guess most of iMac users like the fact that it's all-in-one and hate all the cables. Many of them wouldn't like the HDD somewhere on the desk or under it. For us, having it neatly hidden on a little shelf behind the iMac is nice.

So you have to reach behind your imac to get it? what if you have a massive ass display how can you see what your doing?

[matthewthewizkid]

Can I win it? Also does it come with the 2 shelves in 1 pack? And will it fit a 21.5"?

[sbvikings30]

@matthewthewizkid no,no,yes

[matthewthewizkid]

@sbvikings30 Why cant I win it?

[sbvikings30]

@matthewthewizkid look at the date of the video, it was over a year ago

[LightScribe1029]

What camera do you use?

[RLiighty]

Really handy to have!

Great video as usual, what camera do you use? It is soo clear

[esdevoll]

Nice review! All of 12south's products look great... Apple-quality craftsmanship and design. I agree, a thumbscrew that you could use a philips screwdriver might be a good refinement.

[HelpTube1]

Great review, it looks really cool and useful

[aj0015]

THIS LOOKS SO USEFUL :P well i just got my imac a week ago, and i dont' really have a really good space for my time machine drive, and this would be awesome. Just subscribed to your videos, there awesome, and very useful, keep up the good work :)

[rickelchilango]

Nice review.. They look like they can be very useful..

[atrixstars]

Maybe create some sort of extension (hinge) towards the end of the tray to wrap cables around

[atrixstars]

Cool Shelf.

[thieflord63]

[fozzybear702]

They look great, but I agree, the lack of the screw driver bit is quite important; especially with fingers like mine. But I would like to win nonetheless.

[TheiPodUser123]

i want to win!

[lorik1641]

Cool Review

[JesperA86]

Such a stupid reviewer, cant you use common sence to understand why the product looks like it is? It ´s made for a purpose, to hold the stuff that they have in there example.....

"I would want it 5 feet long so i could fit my snowboard on there"..................

[Epicipods]

great review, hope i can win it!

[cmherbert]

Wow, saw this last week, This would be a perfect place for my external backup drive.

A "wing nut" might be effective, other than a screw head.

[wgrau2]

[drummingjock13]

never heard of this. hope i win

[TinManl]

Great for space

[iTouchiPodz]

great space saving product!

[wwwinsanelygreatmac]

Interesting. If you have a display with the flat arm like support, it may work. I've seen Dell monitors with that, and it might just be a matter of trying the right insert.

Or, you could just go buy a giant Cinema Display for your PC. :P

[JML42691]
