    Quoted from Fezmid:

    Nobody in history has ever said, "Darn, I ran too many wires..."

    That's what I did when I was wiring. Each TV got 3 x CAT 6, 1 x 3.5mm and 1 x HDMI. I also ran CAT 6 to multiple locations in the walls and are using them to power in wall tablets, VSCs (Volume Source Controls) for the audio and have a few buried at random places just because.

    I regret not running more conduit though. I have a few conduits, but I should have ran more. I ran speaker wire for 14 speakers in the ceiling some of which I'm using and some of which I'm not.

    There are more 20A circuits than I can shake a stick at. My breaker panel had plenty of spaces, so why not use them. I think I have 6 machines on each 20a circuit. I also have 2 dedicated to my rack which also runs my theater.

    Just like others have said, run more wire than you think you need. That will cover you for future use, or a wire potentially getting damaged during construction. If you're running conduit, which I highly recommend, run all your wires outside the conduit so you aren't taking up space that you might need in the future.
