  What bugged me about the way Apple sells the Mini is their deliberate 
withholding of information from the customer so that the customer would 
feel obligated to buy much more expensive gear from them. Check out 
their web site and see if you can figure out what would be necessary to 
get the Mini setup using an existing monitor, keyboard and mouse.

P.S. There's "making money" and then there's "screwing the customer".
