Yeah I was thinkin the same thing myself about the windows. I plan to
do it just one room at a time, so as not to bite off more than I can
chew and wind up with a house that looks like it's permanently under
construction. I'm also giving a lot of thought to outlet locations
and likely I'll setup a network as well with RJ45 jacks next to the
phone jacks. I'd like to see if I can find an outlet cover/box where
its got cable/phone/network all in one, that way I can minimize the
amount of drywall I have to cut. I also need to do some research on
lighting and decide what I'm going to do there. I've actually been
thinking about creating a custom, made from scratch LED lighting
setup. It'd use FAR less electricity than regular bulbs, they don't
burn out and the light quality is a LOT better (more white than
yellow). I also thought it'd be kinda neat to use such an LED setup
to create a kind of television on the ceiling, basically have multiple
LEDs in a bundle, each bundle representing one pixel, then over the
LEDs would be some kind of frosted plastic cover. Then if you wanted
to get really crazy you could not only create custom static frames,
but actually ANIMATE the ceiling, like have a blue sky scene with
white clouds slowly drifting across, then at night you could do white
twinkling stars, with maybe a comet or shooting star flying by every
now and again. Probably I won't get that crazy right away, but it's
something to think about for later on...maybe as a retirement project
or something. ^_^

I have the cable/phone/network in every room, but I use wireless for
internet. It is handy though in case I have a guest that doesn't have a
wireless card, and of course for the TV in all the bedrooms.

As far as ceiling stuff is concerned, that would be pretty expensive but
by the time you retire it will probably be in every house anyway. That
way, you wouldn't have to paint to change the color of the room. In old
Vegas they have what they call the "Fremont Street Experience"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fremont_Street_Experience But it's far
from "pixel level", still it's pretty cool and could be done in a house
with hi res LED panels if you have the money.

That LED lighting thing would be neat to see!

That's a bit much tho... cool idea, but the wiring and logic to implement
that? Wow.. good luck!
