Hi, Mac Minis are not that expensive, though whether they are adequate depends on how much audio processing is required.
After set up you may not need a monitor, keyboard or mouse, though these are fairly cheap and readily available now. These are only required if something goes wrong, usually when an audio interface or other external unit is not powered up when the computer boots.They can be set up to boot and run a program automatically to specified times, or to run a program when booted. If it is a long term install, the cost of this part of the system becomes very low compared to other installation costs, and the daily management of the whole.
