Building a Home Theater PC (For Cornell Solar Decathlon)

admin — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 00:25:27 +0000

*** http://cusd.cornell.edu ***
This video demonstrates the construction of a Home Theater Computer. It was built by myself and other members of Cornell University’s Solar Decathlon Engineering Controls Team.

The computer utilizes a Core 2 Duo Processor at 3.0 GHz, a 128GB Solid-State Hard Drive, and a GeForce 9300 GPU included in its Nvidia 730i chipset. It will be served media content from a home server.

This computer was built with the following design goals in mind:
EFFICIENT POWER USAGE: Accomplished by using a low wattage CPU, A Solid State Hard Drive, an 80+ Certified PSU, and a motherboard with energy saving features.
EXTREMELY QUIET: Utilizes a Solid State Drive to eliminate hard drive vibrations, 2 silent 120mm fans, and an efficient case structure.
HD EXPERIENCE: Integrated GPU provides HDMI HDCP-enabled video output at full HD resolution, while reducing heat and power consumption because of the lack of video card, Gigibit Ethernet enables streaming of content from the house’s multimedia home server, 3GHz CPU provides ample headroom for video decoding.

This HTPC will be used in Cornell University’s Solar Decathlon competition in October 2009. Learn more about the team at http://www.cusd.cornell.edu

Hard Drive Speakers, as computer speakers

admin — Thu, 10 Jun 2010 00:26:22 +0000

Modified hard disk drives to operate as computer speakers. Then the amplifier for an older pair of speakers was used to power the new computer speakers.

The heads don’t visibly move on these like other speakers on youtube. The heads have been bent into the platters and then partially covered to create a more “normal” sound.
