This was our first "team build". Several people assisted in the building of this system, and it attains a high level of performance for a reasonable price of around $1800US.

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
