nerd at large (Score 1)

i am mostly done, having remodeled my house, and made it as "ultimate nerdly" as i could afford...so here is what i did 1. an alarm system, with X10 and remote administration and monitored over the POTS phone...(make sure you put the phone line in a hardened steel pipe, to your demarc) 2. the POTS, cable, cameras, and ethernet are all terminated in a structured wire panel, where the 66 blocks, and cable splitters reside...the ethernet passes through a box, to my office, and thusly equipment racks and a 48-port panel for the ethernet...additionally, the camera wires goto a PVR 3. most if not all of the intergration of systems happens in my office, and on a rack, so routers and access points, switches/hubs, patch panel, asterisk server, etc. is all in the same place.... 4. every room has multiple ethernet, and CAT5E even for the phone jacks, as well as cable TV (DO NOT do a "house wrap" like the cable company lazily loves to do...garbage!) so the rooms have access to cable TV, the POTS line AND/OR a SIP phone, internet ETC 5. every room has alarm sensors, and more important rooms have infrared sensors...the gun safe has a sensor, as well as a 600lb magnet, to keep it closed without a code 6. the computer room aka office has 240volt twist lock circuits, and batterys galore 7. the media computers are touchscreen driven...sure you could stream it over the ethernet, but hard drives are cheap, and multiple backups are a good thing (dont wanna lose, that which was "stolen" from the RIAA) the master bedroom, as well back patio, family room, living room, and offices (his and hers) have audio wired for surround sound via bose speakers, and the main media stereo can pump music in several rooms... 8. the main TV as well as the master bedroom have coaxial to the security cameras, to watch the outside world...everywhere else can use the network 9. ceiling fans have remote controls, thermostats and X10...and the lightswitches are X10 that is about it? maybe im forgetting something...but, you get the idea? well, that is all that comes to mind?
