Raspberry pi htpc- a simple and affordable home theater projector computer

ADVERTISEMENT
Raspberry pi is a small and affordable single board computer with a low power consumption. The high definition media output (via an HDMI) and the powerful gpu makes it a best and tweak-able gadget to use as an HTPC or a home theater projector computer.

To turn a raspberry pi to htpc, the easiest solution is to grab one of the XBMC distributions which are optimised to run on a pi. This can be done with raspbmc, or openELEC installations. If you use the hdmi output on the pi and hook up your audio system from the projector, it will work fine. An alternative and best solution is to use a usb sound card which provides better audio than the built in audio output on the pi. Look at Raspifi which also offers a good audio solution for the pi based htpc.
