*** http://cusd.cornell.edu/silo *** 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.

@gab1971 you're welcome

@blueovalfan23 Oh! Now that makes sense! Thank you!!

@gab1971 it ls something to make a space between the board and tray or case. without them, it will short out the board. it's pretty much a screw with a nut as a head so you can screw it to the case and put the board on it and put screws through the board. some case will not require them and have them made into the tray. if that doesn't help, i gues google it. it's pretty much something you understand when you see one. if it helps, it looks alot like the nuts on vga and dvi ports if you unscrew 1

@Darcin8or depend what onboard gpu you have, if its a older motherboard probably not but newer like 2009 and up should have a decent gpu, but i would still upgrade to a nvidia or ati card
