What’s the real price for a Mac Mini rig?

I just looked on the internet, and the current price for a mac mini is about $ 500-600. But then I realized–a mac mini is just the hard drive, the video card, the CPU, etc; no monitor, mouse and keyboard, or any other peripherals. I don’t know anything about Macs, so I thought I’d ask here: what’s the price for a full Mac Mini, with all the required peripherals? can I use third-party monitors, keyboards, etc, or do I have to use all mac stuff? And if I decide not to buy a Mac, is there a Windows-based equivalent, or will i be forced to shell out $ 800 or more for a PC?

Also, while I’m here, are monitors, mice and keyboards considered periphrals, since they’re practically required for a PC?
