The monitor requires DVI input or DVI to DB15 adaptor...

So the bottom line is still not $499...

But it is interesting...

The native video output of the new Mac is DVI video, and a VGA adapter is included. That should handle most industry-standard displays.

A adapter for S-video and composite video output (sold separately) will connect the new Mac to a TV set or projector.

From the Apple web site:

Connect. Plug. Play. Mac mini works with both Mac and PC-compatible peripherals, so it’s easy to upgrade from an older Mac or PC system. Simply connect your USB mouse and keyboard, then hook up your DVI or VGA display (adapter included). Next, plug in, turn on and say hello to Mac OS X, the world’s most advanced operating system.

The video is a DVI/VGA port with an adapter for VGA included

No, it doesn't, it comes with the adapter. Here is a graphic of the input/out puts of the mini from Apple's website:

They also state:

"Connect your USB keyboard and mouse. Then hook up your DVI or VGA display (adapter included)."

If Apple's OS
allows you disable
the Finder and stuff

normally foreground,
this could be a cheap server
for lots of odd stuff . . .
