Re:Problem with Fiber (almost forgot this)

Wiring A New House?

you are talking about Multi-mode fiber. Single Mode fiber has a smaller piece of glass that doesn't allow the light to reflect, the beam just goes straight through without bouncing which, as was stated before will only effect latency. And as long as your house isn't 1500 meters from hub to station, then you should be ok.
Why the heck would you run firewire and USB through the walls? Firewire and USB both run way slower than Fast Ethernet. And what are you going to connect to that firewire that you wouldn't want to connect right at the computer? Hook your video camera in the living room up to your computer in the den? What would be the point. I agree with the poster who said to run Cat5 now, and if you ever decide to change to fiber or something else, use your existing cat 5 as a pull string. Or even better, when you run the CAT5 run it with a pull string. They make this cheap nylon rope that comercial data/telecom cable guys piggy back with all of their cable runs, we used to call it Jetline but I think that was just one manufacturer's brand. Just make sure you don't tie down your wire to anthing inside the wall so that you can pull it straight through when the time comes.
You should take Mr. Jackson's advice and "Start with the man in the mirror" Turning the gun on him would go a long way to solve an even bigger problem.
