....and as soon as you start wiring it all up you just know you'll
find a use for a 5th and 6th cable :(

bargains (DDAR, TiVo, Book PC) I took the plunge and started cabling
with CAT5.  I have spent ALL afternoon getting the RG59 downleads
out (going to cable tie CT100 to the conduit instead) and running 4
x CAT5 down it.  It was a real sod because it's about 5m in length
(no bends thankfully) and I had to feed the bundle of CAT5s down a
few inches at a time on my own.

(fewer if it has bends, believe me), and you need a special
threading (as possibly bending) tool.  It looks OK though.  Mark
Harrison has used ventilation ducting (bathroom/kitchen extractor
fan stuf) and you can get LOTS of CAT5 in it :)
