cat 5

[billb]

is cat 5e still good enough/usual to put in or should i be looking at cat6 etc for a newbuild?

Personally never seen any problems with Cat5e. But I'm not a cable installer by trade, I just bolt bits on

I agree, but I have to admit to having installed CAT6 for my home network. It wasn't that expensive in the end.

Cat 6 is more invasive to install due to the bend radii etc. I would suggest Cat5e to the floor and Cat6 in the server room and for any inter-cabinet runs.
