The whole idea behind the Mini is to just replace the CPU, not the keyboard, monitor, mouse or printer.
As long as you have USB peripherals already they will work with the Mini. ANY windows keyboard and mouse will work.
Shuie, spend another $70-$100 bucks on an external Firewire 7200 rpm drive. Use the built in migration utility to clone your Mini drive to it and use the external as the main boot/application/scratch drive.
Aside from the RAM upgrade the other thing that will keep a Mini from performing to it's fullest is the hard drive. They use laptop drives in them and the stock drive is either 4500 or 5400 rpm.
I always advocate the Hitachi 7200 rpm drive for laptops, it's killer, really quite and rock solid. But since the Mini is not portable you can get the same benefit from an external firewire drive for a lot less money.
If you plan to do video editing you'll want the extra storage anyway.
