Also, if you have another computer with a monitor, an AV switch will help.

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: http://sewelldirect.com/pc-to-tv-adapter.asp CB On 6/24/14, 6:56 PM, Alex Hall wrote: 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.

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.
