You might suffer on Video output (Does it support HDCP ?) and as long as you have enough USB ports, it should be an ideal thing (read that those are only USB 2.0 so it could be an issue)
Recorded TV, Movies, Music, not sure you going to fit all that content in 32 or 64gb. Then IR blaster, Tuner(s), etc. All should be done via USB or networkable.
WMC was designed when single and dual core CPUS were the norm (Windows 7 release), so WMC on a lower CPU, it should work but, anything of this day should be able to blow away a single core or dual core from 5-10 years ago.
Would be interesting to see the results... In Theory, it should run and run good.

I may try it....
Only thing is I'll have to re-install windows as the version they include isn't very friendly in general.
If I install, keep it bare bones....
only thing ill need to add on is a flirc device....

I didn't find any solid WMC data, but Anandtech tested it out with Kodi: http://www.anandtech.com/show/9167/inte ... k-review/4
