I wired my house - after it was built (difficult, but not impossible).
The builder was not "interested" in letting me do the wiring and the company
they recommended wanted way too much money.
I used the ONQ 14x14 enclosure. I recently upgraded that enclosure to the
14x28 as the original was too small. I also used the ONQ RJ45 punchdown
modules, the RJ11 (regular phone) punch downs (cat5 wire for both) and
the 3x8 video hub. I didnt like the ONQ router, so I have a Linksys
Router/Switch sitting in the enclosure that hooks everything together.
Depending on your house type - or more specifically, your attic crawl
space (mine is huge) - it may be easy or difficult to add in the things
you want.
If you are interested and want to see my setup, drop me an email at
sbrews@cox.net and we can work something out.

ps
the 14x14 (in wall) enclosure is available if anyone is interested.

NT makes anything simple, easy, and anything difficult to do, impossible.
Unix makes anything easy to do difficult, and anything difficult to do,
possible. Basically, if your VCR is still flashing "12:00" then unix is not
for you!
