New house, new network

A short while ago, I got the keys to my brand new, shiny house. Since me and the GF had several options to choose from, I added a nice amount of electrical outlets and an empty pipe in each room for CAT7 cabling.
 
This is what I'm planning:

  • Run a double CAT7 wire through the 5 empty pipes
  • Put a patch panel and a switch in the meter cupboard and attach it to my modem-router, with the router function switched off
  • Put at least an access point on the ground and first floor
  • Try to connect all my equipment in the best way

This is the meter cupboard now, before all the stuff I'm putting in it. If you guys are interested, I can post some pictures after I'm done.

This is my TV setup, with a 32" TV, a ITX PC for HyperSpin, a TV box from my cable provider, a WiiU and a surround system. I will probably add my PS2 later. I already have nightmares when I think about the wiring...

This is all the stuff I bought in the last few weeks, but I already had more stuff  :whistling:

I was a complete n00b until a few weeks ago, when it comes to networking and perhaps I'm still a n00b now.
At least wish me luck  :thanks:

Any comments/tips/criticism are appreciated
