Well depends what you want. If you have the money go for the iMac has everything is built in and you get the keyboard and mouse and the ram can be upgraded to more then what the Mac Mini can handle. If you want someone small and have a spare monitor, USB mouse and keyboard spare then get the mac mini.

I like the sound of the iMac, what's the cheapest they are available for?

If you have never had a Mac or used one for a long period of time before, then I would say start with the Mini and then move to bigger and better if you like it.

For the cheapest option visit http://www.apple.com/uk/store when its backup, but its down for the next few hours for the new products.

I have never owned a Mac.

But then I'd have to purchase a monitor with the Mini?

Or use your current monitor, USB Keyboard and USB Mouse.

In my opinion get the mini then if you like mac osx get a imac. But as you said you have no screen so you may be better with a imac. My advice also is when you buy upgrade the ram to 2gb as it does run alot better with 2gb ram.

I've never upgraded RAM before, is it easy to do?

Very easy, take the cover off and slot it in basically.
