Hi,
I've just about finished getting my house built.. and whilst doing the electical side of things i got a mate round and we put cat5e into 3 rooms of the house, two bedrooms & the lounge... also got A/V put into two bedrooms too.. but personly i dont think you will find the need for Optic Fiber... with the way Wireless is headed.. id say in the not so distant future you might end up running all wireless and getting if not the same speeds.. probably very close to the same speeds as fiber... and because it's in a local area not over a long distance or anything i dont think you'd have much toworry about with lag etc...
id just keeplayin' the cat5e... it's cheap.. but also get A/V... as it can be very handy. eg. relaying that new DiVX/DVD to the lounge... etc..;) or.. just think of what your guests will say when you've got music crossfading with Visual's on your big-screen.. with the help of Winamp/XMMS
anyway's.. that's my thoughts.. hope it helps..
P.S.... if you can afford Optic Fiber.. and the equipment to go with it... why not!
