HP MicroServer G8 G1610T vs. QNAP-TS-451 as HTPC and NAS ?

All,

I'm looking to build HTPC with 4x HDD so I'd like to know what's your comemnts regarding:

HP ProLiant MicroServer Gen8 G1610T
Quick Specs:

QNAP-TS-451
Website:

Which one is capable of playing 4K UHD movie to my LED monitors?
I understand that HP ProLiant MicroServer Gen8 G1610T doesn't have HDMI so I'll be streaming it with 3rd partya apps.

I assume both models can use normal DDR3 RAM and also 3'5" SATA HDD of any brands.

Any clarification and help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

If possible NAS and HTPC.
Somehow when I read the review in Amazon, it cannot render or play HD 1080p movies properly due to its CPU just Celeron ?

Well, the streaming that I want is just to Screen cast or mirror view it to the Samsung LED TV via WLAN.

if that's impossible then I can just Connect using hdmi directly I suppose.

In regards to the NAS feature, does it possible to run NFS for VMWare VMFS data store in second LUN ?

First LUN is for HTPC.
