One thing to keep in mind, is if you're planning to run cable in drop
ceilings (and other spaces without a conduit), the fire code specifies
using Plenum cable, which is more expensive than the PVC stuff (the
added factor being it's less likely to kill you when it burns). I dunno
if you care about code or not :)
