 I would definitely put wiring into the house in almost every
room. You are putting in coax for TV (I assume) so run the LAN
wires at the same time to every place you can think of using
it in the future.
 I would also put in a chase from the patch area to the attic.
People who build should plan for future, unknown wiring.
 I would also add a loading dock, a whole house vacuum system,
a tower, an elevator if multistoried, and a lot of other things
that I can't remember right now.
