Is the screen pure gray or is it black? Since hooking up an external monitor works just fine I would say that your logic board is fine. It points to an issue in the lcd. My guess would be the...

Of course it would. The only slower component would be the harddrive. Since the Mac Mini has a 2.5" HD it only runs at 5400rpm. Other than that it'd be vastly superior.
