In the summery bullets, they quote: "Budget-minded folks now can add a second hard drive to the base iMac because the Fusion Drive connector is no longer missing from the logic board." However, this isn't very clear on what kind of hard drive. Their teardown of the iMac shows the pcie connector free on the board if you only order a HDD option (what I am planning to do). I recently have been reading a ton of the replacement guides on the late 2013 27in iMac over at ifixit. Here is where I fall into some confusion: I am planning on upgrading the CPU, RAM, and storage. I have looked into the whole "DIY AIO" thing with the Gigabyte motherboards and the Loop chassis, but they dont offer the power that the iMac does sadly. I am looking into buying the base level iMac (late 2013 27in) and then upgrading it myself.

*I did already post this over at Tom's hardware, but everything I ever post there seems to just get buried with no responses, so I figured this, being a more Apple-centric forum, maybe you guys could help.*
