I do understand your concerns, but I'd at least want to try to get this to work as a basic front end.
 
There is obviously some issue with playback on this machine and I suspect it is the Intel video. 
 
I would think this machine would work decently as a frontend.  I've seen many other posts using the dual core atom.  It definitely seems possible.
 
Thanks,
 
Nathan
