Unless it is different with the Intel Mac Minis, there is nothing you need to do to make the Mac Mini work without a monitor. I have a Mac Mini which has never in two years of use ever had a monitor connected to it. Computers don't typically have any means to tell one way or the other whether a monitor is connected and powered on.
As for the cealing of the system, I don't really see a problem with this. Mac Minis are designed to be an entry level Mac. If you need the ability to upgrade RAM or have more power, you'll go with something higher up on the food chain, as it were. I still say they are great value for the price, and excellent machines for what they are intended.

Well the Imac doesn't have a separate monitor, the monitor is in the unit, yes ok blind people don't use monitors however if there's any trouble they're handy to have around <smile>. Now using a Mac Mini without a monitor isn't straight forward, I'm told that you have to have one connected. Finally, you've underlined my main objection about the Mac Mini when you said make sure you get plenty of RAM in it, it annoys me that this machine comes sealed so therefore you have to be precise about the configuration you get.
