So I’m about to do some pretty significant wiring changes in our house. Basically the closet in the upstairs library will be the “datacenter” with the router and tv distribution and server and media center and such. The various video/data/networks will be distributed to the library, craft room, guest room, and living room.

Here’s the basic wiring diagrams first, the “datacenter”:

and next the living room:

In terms of the wiring itself, I am going to have 2 PVC conduits leaving the closet heading up into the attic. These will each go to a different part of the house. The first will go down the wall common with the play room and library. The second will go down the wall common with the guest room, living room, and master bedroom. each conduit will head up, take a 90 degree turn towards the respective location, head across, take another 90 degree, and then head down towards the receptacle. The ovals in the diagrams above indicate when wiring will be passing through the conduit.

PS, if anyone has any recommendations for a better drawing tool than the copy of Visio 2003 that I have from work, please let me know.
