Ok tech-heads, I could do with some advice...

I'm having my house rewired and a garden office built, so while all this is going on I thought it would be an idea to sort out a home network, one problem I'm not sure what I need!

Current Items I have are

2 x Macbook Pros
1 x Mac Mini
1 x 27 iMac
1 x Win 7 desktop (hardly gets any use)
1 x Apple TV
1 X Chromecast
2 x iPads
3 x Andriod tablets
4 x iPhones
1x Xbox 360

Ideally I'd like a central storage/backup/streaming system for Films/Music/Photos/Files.

I don't have a fixed budget, so all ideas welcome, preferably something I can do myself as I like to tinker.

TIA biggrin

ETA my BBand is via Virgin Media, and the garden office will be 150ft from the house if it makes any difference.

Cheers guys, I shall get shopping!

With the hardwiring do I need to add a switch?
