Maker challenge: Wiring a House

Jim writesโ€ฆโ€œI am presently in the process of rebuilding my house. I have been seriously considering a bundled wire of 2 coax, 1 cat5, 1 cat6 and 2 fiber optic. Might as well bring it in to the 21st century while Iโ€™m at it. Yet, I am looking for some kind of module, or brain command center that will handle the distribution to all rooms. I was wondering if you know were going to write about a build your own type of distribution system rather than the old splitters. I wanted to bring in one feed and run direct home runs to all rooms. No jumping from room to room. No multiple splitters down the line, etcโ€ฆ Of course, I want to have wireless access, but we all know that there are still signal drops in that configurationโ€. What are some suggestions for Jim? Post them in the comments!
