Hi,
I am using Sony monitors on my Mac Pro and my PowerMac is using a different Sony monitor. You an essentially use any monitor you want with a Mac as long as it has the right adapter, or you can buy an adapter converter.
You might be okay with a Mini though my suggestion would be for a iMac with 4GB of memory and a LARGE hard drive (640GB or 1TB). That would be around $1500-$1700 USD.
Depending on your needs, some software from you windows system could be abandoned. OS X has built in capabilities for burning general music or data CDs/DVDs. I did have to pick up software to sync my system to external drives and then MoneyDance replaced Quicken.
At work I am a Windows Web developer and at home I am a Mac user. That means I keep my feet in both worlds. LOL
Take care,

Also, I think my SyncMaster (Samsung) monitor can be used with a Mac (haven't checked on that yet though).
I'd still have a PC laptop, so would have access to Microsoft Office there. I'd just need Photoshop on a new Mac.
But I am still not sure what to do - need to do more reading. The PC is back at the computer store again. Not holding out much hope that they are going to fix it though...
