Thanks to all for the thick/thin ethernet info! I decided that the costs and ease of installation were too much to pass up. Also, something I didn't mention before - I intend to cable many more outlets than will be used immediately. Some will be used occasionally when a computer is moved for a special purpose, but most will be idle until we get more computers. The expense of cabling each one with a transceiver is too great. Now that I've decided on the wiring to the wall outlet, I'd like info on getting from there to the back of the computer. Does anyone make special BNC connectors that are much better than others? I noticed some are hooded - to prevent being taken off? Does anyone sell cables with 90 degree angled ends (so that I don't jam them into the back of the desk/wall)? Thanks for the help! --kyler
