Thank you for the suggestions and the link. I especially like the ideas for soundproofing and interior insulation. I also like the idea of running conduit, at least in key locations. I plan to have a basement with the living areas on the main floor, and just 2 bedrooms or so upstairs. One or two conduit runs from the basement to the attic should make it relatively easy to get a wire anywhere in the house. I also wouldn't have thought of the cooling issue for the computer closet, so I will make sure that if I plan to enclose it I consider the airflow.
