PRINCETON PC USERS GROUP MEETING*

Monday June 8, 2009 7:30PM


Topic: *Build Your Own Home Theater PC & Entertainment System*

Speaker: *Mark Streitman*

Do you want a Personal Video Recorder (PVR) but don't want another
monthly charge?  Want a real Home Theater PC (HTPC),
but don’t want to spend thousand dollars then this presentation is for
you. Start with an old PC, a little money, your time, and you
can build a basic Home Theater system.  The system will have a PVR to
watch HDTV, and allow you to watch DVDs, play games,
music, videos and surf the web, all on a big screen.  Using free open
source software, you can create a great HTPC with just the
features that you want.  The speaker will discuss the hardware,
software, and assembling it all. Once you have your own HTPC
you'll never go back to regular TV again


Mark Streitman has been an embedded systems engineer and programmer for over
25 years.  He designs microcontroller based boards, does R&D and created the
world's first Portable Foucault Pendulum.  He is an outside Design Partner
in association with Microchip.  He has built several Home Theater PCs and
loves to tinker around with Ubuntu Linux systems.  He has also achieved an
advanced level in Toastmasters and is President of the New Jersey Society
for Amateur Scientists.

*Location: *Mercer County Library, Lawrenceville NJ
