My parents are building a new house out in LI. I am looking for some suggestions on wiring and electronics to future proof the place.

I'm thinking structured cable will be run to each room, along with an additional Cat5e line (or 2), one for data and one for phone. Anyone have any suggestions about what to install, how to install it, new products, or any other useful info?

We're also looking at wiring up the 1st floor with some speakers and controls in the wall. Anyone have any ideas on components, controllers, and other hardware/wiring thoughts? We probably won't do much more than iPods (or streaming from a PC) for music. Living room will have a flat screen and surround sound, as will the basement!

Thanks in advance!
