Yes all that I believe is possible, the only thing I haven't done is put Windows 7 on mine (I run Server 2008 R2) but I can't imagine there being an issue with 7, I'm sure I have read about others using them as you intend to.
I've got two of them (N40L & N54L) but I'm thinking of selling the N40L and going for a G8.

Whats diff between n40 and n54?
And so i could use these 2 cards?

Then i could install the OS on the 250GB drive?
And then thats it? - Done? Just run it as i would as if it was a normal PC ...

i sold my n40l but still have the n54l
i've got a ssd in the optical bay on my n54l then have 11TB in the storage area
i did have a graphics card in the n40 + 8GB of ram and it didn't have a problem with any videos i tried (i was running ubuntu)
the n54 has a faster cpu is the only difference (2.2Ghz vs. 1.5Ghz)

N40L is 1.5GHz, N54L is 2.2GHz.
Both those cards look like they will fit, might be worth double checking the length of the sound card but it looks ok to me.
Yes, they are just like a small form factor PC, just remember you might want an optical drive for it as they don't come with one. HP say a maximum of 8GB memory but you can fit 16GB, just make sure you get a chipset known to work as the majority won't.

it will fit, but may not leave you with much free space after updates and long term use.
I wouldn't bother installing Windows if you want to use it as a HTPC. Go for a Linux distro running XBMC

yeah i bought two from china and they were decent weirdly :S
can fit either a 2.5 or a 3.5 HDD

Yeah I bought one and was dubious about it, but turns out they are genuine HP parts so I ordered a second. I'm not actually using them as the SSD is in the optical drive slot and I'm using all the other slots, but when I change the drives in future to 4TB I will use them as it is handy to have the DVD drive in if possible.

It's not guaranteed it will pick up all the drivers, but is by far the better thing to do and hopefully it will. You don't have to have the adapter for the top bay, you just have to come up with some way of securing the drive yourself. For the HDD caddies you do need the adapter if fitting an SSD, or you could remove the caddy altogether and plug the SSD straight onto the backplate (I'm sure HP don't advise that) but I did do that to install the OS on mine before putting it in the top bay, as long as you don't miss-handle the server I don't see it being a problem but not ideal.
