Just got my copy of WIRED magazine and .....inside :

Hot Properties
Stacks of equipment, piles of remotes, a rat's nest of Ethernet cables - the wired life can get ugly. But a new school of home design is finding creative ways to combine tech and aesthetics. These four houses show how geek palaces can be elegant, comfortable, and tasteful. [ Coming January 3 ]

Hey, how'd that guy get in to my house? ;)

It's not as bad as it used to be - I spent a weekend last year with a fish tape and ran all the cable inside the walls, putting jacks in each room. Before than it was kind of haphazard - some inside the walls, some on the baseboards, etc. Of course, you still need cable from the jack to the box, which is what I'm hoping to get rid of with the wireless network...
