I've heard this is no longer an issue on newer minis but on older ones
you could trick it using the mini to VGA adapter and then a VGA to NTSC
converter, which are usually pretty cheap. I used this one which is $24:

I am pretty sure you are looking for an NTSC box, but I am not totally
certain. Still, a cheap monitor these days can't be much, especially
an older one. You will probably need a Mini Display to VGA converter
if you get the NTSC box or an old monitor, just FYI That adapter says
Mini Display, but it is the same as Thunderbolt and hooks up to that
jack on the Mac Mini.

That is a problem with some Minis (mine included). You need a screen
of some kind, even if the screen is off, or the Mac spends so much
time searching for a screen that it slows down. There are also
converters you used to be able to get, which would trick the Mac
into thinking a screen was connected when in reality all that was
there was a little box, but I don't know if those are still around.
