Hey - I’d enter this contest if I had all the supplies necessary to build a cool looking small and quiet home theater system. There’s certainly plenty of ideas in that head of mine.. at least there was earlier today.`
The grand prize winner will win $300,000 to help enable mass production of the winning system and $400,000 for co-marketing activities with Intel. The first place winner will win $300,000 to enable mass production of their winning system.
