Cabling the House - BEst source for wire/tools???

[warlord at MIT.EDU (Derek Atkins)]

FWIW, I got a box of 1000' of Cat-5 for $75 from Ralph Pill electric
on Mystic Ave in Medford..  I also bought all my connectors, punchdowns,
and tools from Graybar behind the Home Despot in Somerville.  I now have
a nicely wired home office :)
