Any additional harware you purchase will simply connect internally or plug in to any of your USB connections. A Blu-ray drive or bluetooth adapter should not be a problem it is only when you want to fit PCIE cards or graphics card that you need to check a few other factors.

What exactly do you need to know, most extra hardware just plugs in.

I should have checked the specifications before making my last post, I have now looked at the details of the PC.

This looks like a fairly up to date PC. It is called a desktop but built like a Laptop. The graphics are integrated (as far as I can tell from the specifications) so you will not be able to upgrade the graphics card as it is part of the motherboard. Unlike a true desktop tower you cannot just fit additional PCI cards to this type of PC. If you wanted it for high end gaming you should have got a dektop PC with a tower as everything within a tower can be upgraded.

If you want to change the CD drive to a Blu-Ray burner/player you will have to get this from Sony (if one is available) for that specific model. A standard laptop Blu-Ray drive may fit but the facia on the draw has to be for your particular PC. Some can be unclipped and then put back on a new drive.

To add bluetooth funtionality simply buy a bluetooth dongle which just plugs in to a USB socket.

I you require a larger hard drive you will have to get an external drive unless this PC has a spare drive bay, in which case you can add another drive. (It is not mentioned in the specs so I assume it only has one drive bay) Alternatively you could replace the exixting drive with a larger model. Drives are a standard design so you can simply swap them but be sure to get a SATA, IDE will not fit. Make sure you burn off restore discs so you can transfer the operating system to a new drive.
