picked up an external hard drive (we want this for a back up, case, and and the super drive with the savings.
I actually don't know specifics here, but make sure the drive is "Time machine compatible." Is that universal, or does it need the Apple Stamp of Appoval (directed to anyone that knows. Maybe colorchangingtiger, since he's usually more on top of Apple/non-apple compatibility than most.)?
Otherwise, you look set.

Yes sir, apple compatible. Thanks for the tip!
I do appreciate the commentary, what sold me on the MAC was multiple buddies telling me that their wives have not been able to screw them up (yet)

Pretty sure it's universal. I use WD MyPassport drives for Time Machine. FYI, you probably want to do something like a super duper clone of the drive periodically as well. Time Machine should not be your only back up. It's still too buggy to trust IMO, and since it's been around for 4(?) years now it doesn't seem like they are in a big rush to fix it. It does work well for single file retrieval if you happen to accidentally delete something.
