We just built our new home last year, and there were a few things we wanted. I went for quartz counter tops instead of granite. They were more expensive than granite, but granite is porous and you need to seal it once a year or so. Also, Adam made sure to beef up the wall in our theater for a plasma to hang on the wall, and he made sure that the surround sound wires were ran to the locations he wanted. We also ran ethernet to every room in the house, and two cable lines to each room for our Tivo's.

Things we didn't do that I wish we would have: Two water heaters. We have an 80 gallon now, but I find that it's not enough. We should have had one for the master bath, and one for the rest of the house. Also, after the house was finished we decided we wanted a TV in our bathroom. We haven't installed it yet, because it's a pain in the ass, but we will soon. Adam wants a small LCD or plasma in the corner so we can watch TV while in the tub, but there's no cable or electricity up there... yet.

That costs quite a bit more than $1k extra, if the house is of any decent size whatsoever.

you dont have electricity in your bathroom? :winkwink:

:thumbsup -- always have 2x the lines you think you need and run connections to both sides of each room and even the ceiling, (yes the ceiling). cable, phone, s-vid, component, fiber, everything you can think of...it's 10x easier, cheaper, and cleaner to do it before the walls are done.
