The mac mini won't support an internal soundcard so you will need an external "interface." An interface is just a box with analog to digital converters that allows you to plug in a mic or line level instrument and record to a computer program like GarageBand. Most interfaces these days are either USB or Firewire. Check the link I posted above for some possibilities, particularly the M-Audio equipment. Your choice really depends on your budget. By the way, the link is for the Apple store in the Republic of Ireland. There may be other merchants online in the UK or elsewhere that can beat Apple prices and ship faster.
