Great thread. I ran 5e everywhere I could back when the walls were open and 5e was the top stuff. I have a couple of rooms in which it's never been used but, hey, the walls were open.

One thing I wish I had taken more into consideration is battery backup power. I live in the wooded boondocks and we have frequent enough outages that we have a generator. However it is not instantaneous. So I have small battery backup units all over the place to insulate my sensitive and expensive electronics. I kind of wish I had run 120V power cabling to all of the same locations I had run the 5e. That would have allowed me to centralize my battery backup.

EDIT: Just read back through that. Yikes. I sound like I'm preparing for a zombie apocalypse.
