Shirley, Only the most recent (Mid 2011 model) Mac Mini can support multiple screens. It has an HDMI port (with an HDMI to DVI adapter supplied) and a Thunderbolt port which can also support a monitor via a Mini Display Port to, in your case, SVGA adapter cable.
AFAIK, all other MacMinis can only support one monitor. Chris Webb .
