So I am in the middle of a XBMC to MCE transition and I am curious just how far I can push this box. My desire?
Playback of video
Record Live TV with Ceton InfiniTV 4
Stream to at least 1 Extender (MCE), maybe 2 in the future
The hardware?
Zotac 9300 with E5300 CPU
2GB Memory
Wireless n (eventually gigabit wired)
I am not sure if streaming out is more CPU intensive or Memory and IOPS.
How far can I push this box?

CPU wise, you should be OK, if all you're doing is recording and watching TV in 7MC. I'd definitely consider upping the RAM if I was you though, especially if you'll be using an Extender.

Computer is fine, probably (like Foxwood mention) bump up the ram. Also I would assume this computer is a dedicated box (not being used for other stuff)
