I believe a transfer switch is a requirement per the National Electric
Code if you want to hook up a generator directly the your home mains.
If anyone goes wrong you could be CRIMINALLY LIABLE, not only for
causing a potential electrical fire, but to damage the power grid.

Well under 800 Watts. Depends on what you are using for a monitor, of
course.
Per Apple, Mac Mini (without monitor) uses 85-110 Watts.

You'll probably want to purchase a UPS and a transfer switch as well.
