I am currently using iMac G5
I plan to switch my notebook to a iBook, too...because these are really great products.

(1)exceptionally outstanding cosmetic design!! this is a piece of art!!
(2)never have virus problem, especially now is OS-X
(3)can use VGA monitor and PC mouse, you only need to buy an Apple keyboard, or sometimes, they come with Apple keyboard & mouse
(4)not much wires and cables, very clean installation! and very QUIET!!
(5)bluetooth, airport (wireless lan) functions

if you buy a stylish mouse/keyboard and LCD monitor to compliment the mini's design, you'll end up buying a $1000+ computer. not so cheap after all...

Ferrari is coming out with a $24,000 car. They give you the frame. All other parts are optional but required.

But none of those are "required" (well, maybe just the mouse, which is cheap). Without a monitor and keyboard, it is called an iMac Shuffle.
