[TriLUG] Question about wiring a new home with Cat6/e

[Josh Vickery]

I've always dreamed of putting cable runners in the walls.  Big 3"
pipes that drop straight down from the attic to the crawlspace or
basement, with cut outs at each room.  I figure that would be the best
way to "future proof" the wiring in a house, where future proofing
includes everything from needing better cable for streaming video to
wanting to run some speaker wire that I hadn't planned on.  Has anyone
done anything like this?
