You could find an external HD for a reasonable price at just about any electronics store.

I don't play with the Mac but here goes some advice… 

Coming from Windows you would find Kitty Spangles Solitaire amusing.

Frenzic is another Mac only game worth a look.

Ambrosia Software has several games which are only available on a Mac, I find SketchFighter 4000 alpha rather funny. DEFCON looks original, you could even play online against your Windows friends…

Then, there is World of Goo but you may know it already since it is also available on Windows and the Wii.
