Why would you run any wires? Technology has surpassed this! Why would you have to carry cables around to plug into an outlet? I have done this before and the cost does not justify it - Wireless G Broadband Router - $99, Wireless G PCI Card - $60, Wireless G notebook card - $80. So unless you are planning to hook your refrigerator and coffee pot up to your computer, go wireless! If you are planning on hooking up your refrigerator and coffee pot, then fiber won't help you out - run CAT5e - at least if you dont use it for netwokring, you can hook up 4 phone lines.
