Sure you can. CDTV has nearly all the same ports as a standard Amiga, and even a few that are custom to just it (although normal mouse & joystick may need an adapter).  Flip it around and have a look at the back. C= even shipped an entire line of accessories for it in matching black. Perhaps you've seen these pictures before? :)

There's a floppy drive port right on the back. :)  and utri007 commented how to do the keyboard.

Check the link I posted above for info on adding DB9 ports for mouse/joystick. Lots of other mods available, as well. Here's some more info on adding a hard drive, if you so choose:

I'm waiting to see someone start adapting the Vampire board to fit inside CDTV. Am sure there'll be clearance issues all over the place, but that'll be one heck of a system. ;)
