Fixed it for you:
The Mac mini is still cheaper as long as you go for
a (usually) cheap 'n' nasty, low quality third party
monitor, keyboard, mouse, webcam, ...
;-)

Of course it does, if you already have one, but the point was that the
price of the iMac includes the extra hardware. It's incredibly silly to
say the iMac is more expensive than the Mac Mini, and just ignore the
fact that the iMac includes extra hardware, less cabling mess (although
only slightly if using wireless keyboard and mouse), etc. It's the same
sort of silliness as the anti-Apple nutters comparing an iMac to a
cheap no-name Windoze box.
