Geek House: 10 Hardware Hacking Projects for Around Home By Barry Press, Marcia Press

From the garage to the living room, Geek House provides hackers with 10 PC–based hardware hacking projects that are not for the faint of heart!

Taking the DIY mentality to a whole new level, this book teaches techies how to hack, customize, and modify everything–from their sprinkler systems to the temperature of their barbecues

Adventurous readers will feast on such projects as installing a bar code inventory system for DVDs or CDs, converting RS232 to wireless, scheduling recording from any television in the house, and creating a remote control finder

Companion Web site includes the custom software and source code needed to power these geeky creations
