So in looking at many open homes, I tend to wonder how I'd wire them up if we bought it.

A couple or 2 level, and the first thing I check out is under the stairs, which would be ideal for a patch panel, switch, UPS and my large tower computer.

But a latest one is a single level without an obvious storage cupboard that could house a patch panel and associated.

So for this particular house, there's a large non attached garage at the rear of the property.  Would this be the location for patch panel and computers etc?  I'd need to add an access point or two in the house but this doesn't concern me....what does it how would I get all the wiring from the house to the garage.

Would it be a case of laying a 100mm conduit in the ground with all the known cables?

Or could the roof be used?  Maybe computers in the garage, and the patch panel and main switch in the roof?  Again same question wouldn't this require a fairly large conduit to be run vertically in a wall somewhere to pull cables?

The third option is to co-opt a room or a wardrobe.  But I'd prefer not to.
