Hi Vic, The latest applicable summary of a way around the problem of running one of the new model Minis without a monitor is John Panarese's blog post on his macfortheblind site. Here's the URL: http://macfortheblind.com/?p=591 However, if you lose the link, you can just do a Google search for "macfortheblind Mac Mini". The article is titled "Adventures With My Mac Mini" and it describes the experience of setting up a recent Mac Mini for the first time.
It involved using an Apple Mini display port VGA adaptor (purchased separately) and connecting it to a VGA to NTSC converter (another cable, whose purchasing link is given in the article). If the latest Mac Mini does not support a Mini display port, your first cable may need to be something different. Each cable cost about $30, so about $60 for the fix.
