VoiceOver doesn't work with the Firefox browser. It works somewhat with Chrome
but not well enough to rely on.

The Mac Mini was designed so that you can bring your own keyboard and mouse
to it to work with so it doesn't have to be an Apple keyboard, however the
modifier keys will not match up with what you will have on your PC keyboard.
It will however work.
Safari can read very well with VoiceOver, however it is a completely
different navigation system. It will take some time to get used to because
it is so different but it has many similar facilities to JAWS.

Think I'm beginning to want one quite badly too, Jackie.
Does the keyboard have to be Mac, or does any chosen USB keyboard do the
job, or is there a dedicated keyboard socket?
How have you found the reading of web pages using Saphari and what's it like
(I mean how slick, say, in comparison with Jaws) when reading emails?
