Hi,

I was looking at a Mac in the store today, and noticed that they have a
little tree-structured diagram of all the hardware on the system on 
the "Devices and Volumes" tab of the system information app
Some screenshots from Google:

Interesting to see how they present this information. It might be
interesting to have a look at their APIs also.
A couple starting points I found quickly:
