If all goes well, this summer I'll be building a new house. I've owned a few houses before, some of them built in the 1920s and 30s, and full of all the charm and quirks of an old house, and a couple that were pretty new, with the lack of craftsmanship and imagination that's typical in most new construction in the USA today. But this time I'm building a custom home, just to my specifications, so I can have whatever features I want, limited only by my imagination (and budget). I'd like to integrate some home automation features into the house, and include wiring for future expansion.

I think the author of the article can do whatever he likes, it's his site. On top of that it's better than the silly install reviews that are all the rage.
Plus connectivity is something that I'm sure I as well as others find fascinating. Anytime there are more than two devices to provide connectivity to, although the scale may be different, the solution is pretty much the same. (er wait don't do round robin bnc, but I think we all knew that) I have 6 devices that need connectivity in my home, I would assume many folks also have more than one computer, this is osnews it's just os agnostic.
It's pretty awesome that he gets to do it right the 'first time'. I have wired much of the house, needless to say I learned more about drywall than I did about networking. I think some one else already mentioned having a ups at the junction box, I'd vote for having a line conditioner there as well, so then it's possible to buy cheap power strips instead of expensive surge protectors.
