Either go with Cat5e or Cat6. Regular Cat5 is considered obsolete.

Just make sure you buy bulk cable that's designed to run inside of walls.

Monoprice is a great place to buy. Their cables are great and prices are unmatched.

Great question. Looking at Cat6.

[RickFLM4]

Are you guys wiring for security or some other reason? I had regular CAT 5 wiring installed when we moved into our house in 2002 but switched to all wireless years ago. I don't seem to have any issues with bandwidth, including when streaming video.

[TXSTYLE]

I agree Rick. I will be splurging on some stout WiFi routers!

Continuing off topic, ain't no wireless that will ever compare to wired. Run the cable. Cat6, why mess around, you only get to do it once -- unless you're going with conduit! I did my house in the early 2000's when I had some walls apart for another reason. Went with 5e, it was top of the line then. No regrets. Even now, 10+ years later, and with the speed of change in the industry, my wiring is still good to go. Like others say buy a big roll from a place like monoprice or blue jeans cable. Learn to terminate it yourself. Only takes a couple of tools and a bit of patience.

another vote for Ikea Markus ... value for money unbeatable.

I guess but wireless is already faster than the fastest high speed internet access Comcast can deliver to my house and some devices now are wireless only (phones, tablets). DirecTV uses wifi for downloads but uses its own switch and cabling for multi room viewing. AppleTV uses wireless for streaming and seems fine. Cabling may be faster but at some point it seems to not matter, which is why I don't bother using the wiring I put in 10+ years ago.

Yes wireless is good and convenient but nothing beats wire
I will be installing CCTV around and inside house, possibly running server
its important to have solid wire I will install huge network box with outlets.

Steelcase Leap, great chair.

Not sure what you're looking for specifically since there's limited information. I've recently picked up an office chair for my apartment. I've looked around and I eventually settled with Amazon Basic's Office Chair. I was skeptic at first, thinking that I may be keeping this for maybe a year and then toss (price was reasonable enough that I could care less). However, the build quality has DEFINITELY surprised me. The build is solid, installation is easy and clear. The seat itself looks FAR better than the photo on the website.

Good luck!

I have the embody and it is worth every penny. I'm a programmer/analyst and I've sat in this chair for 18 hours with just a few 5 minute breaks with no discomfort except for my right shoulder because of having to hold a mouse.

[TXSTYLE]

SO let me key in on some very if not THE most important feature(s) I want in a new chair:

1. Ass Comfort! I want plenty of cushion but good blood circulation!
2. Back comfort.

I am thinking a Mesh Back with a padded or leather seat with plenty of cusion and a high-back would be my ideal choice.

Let's hear from you all that are seated for extended periods and how comfy your chair keeps your butt?

Seconded.

[Matt@EuroJerks]

I just asked my Office Manager for a mesh chair....he said yes!!! Kinda excited, but until it's at my desk I won't count my chickens.

[TXSTYLE]

I'm actually leaning towards the Steelcase Leap v2 or Gesture... I need to see if any store has them locally to test out.

Cat 6 for stationary things (desktops, laptops that are mostly in one spot, security systems, etc...) wireless for tablets and phones. Don't want to crowd the wireless spectrum with too many devices, which is why you go with wired for stationary things.

Also, for those who work from home, VPNs (required by many companies) generally work better on stable wired connections than they do on wireless.
