In new construction, consider running "smurf tube" or other conduit between structured wiring enclosures. You'll be able to pull through more cables in the future reasonably easily, especially if you leave pulling line for yourself. In theory you can also get network appliances and etc. that mounts nicely in the structured wiring boxes although honestly the selection/pricing is kind of lame on those. This is starting to be more common in new construction, esp. multi-family.
