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

Finally finished building my home theater! It took longer than I thought but was well worth it. This is an 110″ screen with a 1.78:1 aspect ratio. I am using a JVC RS2 HD Projector with B&W speakers, Lexicon Pre-amp and Bryston amps. I added the riser in the second row for stadium seating. This room brings many hours of enjoyment. I know that when I was building my Home Theater I looked for as many others that I could find for ideas. So, I am adding this one to the collection to help anybody else who wants to build one.

I did the majority of the work myself.

All the walls and the ceiling are isolated using products from http://www.pac-intl.com The front stage is also completely filled with sand. I also use a Biometric Fingerprint Door Lock for access to the Theater.

Any more questions or suggestions for this list just post a comment.

A new video of the Theater will be coming shortly.
