Hey vin, I actually have a similar setup in my rack... The Mac mini booting to live. So fun huh? If you want to monitor i suggest mimo 7in USB powered monitors to have on hand incase you need emergency repatching... They have a touch screen version that works pretty well... You could definitely manage. But i keep one of the Bluetooth trackpads handy as they are much faster to work with. Both can easily stow away in back of rack invisibly. There are awesome elastic advantages to having the Mac mini with different vst and au in a program like live or main stage. But for raw CPU efficiency Per is right about stand alone units. You can also use iPad/iPhone to control your midi gear with touch osc and a combination of other things ( I use osculator as the osc midi translator, then midi patch bay program to route osculator to the hardware ) so many fun possibilities.. Hope this helps...
