should work fine, it is essentially what I have, different brand, costs way more.....I got this Foxconn E-350 based unit and 4Gb of ram for $200 at the egg and used a 250GB 2.5" HDD I had laying around and a copy of Windows 7 x64 I already owned also.
but yes, as it is the same system inside essentially, it will run it perfectly fine
Foxconn NT-A3500 E-350 Fusion Nettop - Win7x64 Ult - XBMC Eden

I've been talking to Zotac and they say none of their products support TrueHD, DTS HD, so beware if you want HD audio.
