A Scrounger's Guide to Equipping the Mac mini: Choices for the Budget Conscious
Low End Mac's Hardy Menagh says:
Macintosh computers have been long considered more expensive than comparable PCs, although many Mac users might consider "comparable PCs" to be an oxymoron. That all changed with the introduction of the Mac mini.
My first experience with the mini was at a local Apple Store shortly after it became available. It was also my first experience with OS X, so I spent 45 minutes getting to know the little Mac. The Apple sales staff didn't bother me, so I was free to interact with the mini and let it answer my questions.
There were two demo minis running in the store. They both had the latest Apple keyboard and mouse and beautiful high-aspect-ratio Apple Cinema Displays.
I knew then and there that there would undoubtedly be a Mac mini in my future, but what about the peripherals? The 23" Cinema Display was perfect for my needs but way beyond my means.
And the keyboard? Well, the layout was crowded, compared my old Apple Extended and Design Keyboards.
My typing method is a combination of touch and hunt-and-peck, a kind of touch-and-hunt style. My fingers are large and can be clumsy when they move fast. (I'm also a horrible guitar player.)
If you play a stringed instrument, you may know how it feels to switch to another one that has slightly closer string spacing or a different string length. At $29, the price of the Apple keyboard is right, but for desktop use, its compressed design just doesn't click for me.
Apple's new USB Mighty Mouse is expensive at $49 and not exactly traditional in design - not that that's necessarily a bad thing. A mouse needs to fit the user well, especially for graphics work and gaming. If you can, find an Apple Store and try this mouse, but also look at the 3-button Kensington PilotMouse Optical that they sell for $19.95. Kensington also makes a 5-button "Pro" version of this mouse targeted at graphics designers for about $5 more. For another $10 beyond that, you can get the USB wireless version.

iKitchen Mac mini mod
Engadget's Thomas Ricker says:
The Mac mini has been implanted into robots, slapped onto a Plasma, slammed into a PC drive bay, and of course mounted in your car's dash...and now it's friggin' disappeared into the iKitchen. The goal here was to "install a computer in the kitchen, hidden, and with few to no visible cables." A standard UK double-socket faceplate was hacked with the mini's power button, status lights, and ports all fed via extension magic from the mini mounted under the kitchen unit. Most useful tool: blunt table knife, a.k.a. lever or impromptu screwdriver. Ahhh modders we justs loves 'em.
