I've always wanted a nice, clean, all-in-one server but could never find the right set-up. That is until i came across the HP ProLiant MicroServer below.

The purpose of this server will primarily be a media server, but also a vmware host and file backup. I do have some concerns regarding XBMC performance on this hardware.
I will probably run Windows 7 64-bit with 8GB of RAM and probably an external video card. My front-end will be an AppleTV 2.
1. Are there any issues with streaming movies wirelessly (stuttering, lag, etc)?
2. Will this play 1080p blu-ray rips?
3. If so, will I need an external video card?
4. If so, which video card is recommended?
5. Will I be able to stream XBMC content to an Xbox360?
6. Will only XBMC Live work with this configuration?
