Wiring my entire house with ethernet. I have the cable, just nothing else. Need a switch, wall plates, ends, etc. Was going to go to home depot for the wall plates, but figure there has to be a good place online to get this stuff.
 
There are plenty of places online. I usually just froogle the brand I want. Also, an electrical wholesaler like Greybar usually is competitive as well.
 
Monoprice, Firefold, Ebay

I just listed out the components I would need and checked those 3 for prices and went with the best deals I could find. My purchases ended up looking something like this:

Ebay
1000' Coax
1000' Cat-5e
Zenith/Philips RG6 Compression tool & 50 Red fittings
Motorola 8 way powered amplifiers
Leviton Residential Tool Kit

Firefold
Blank Keystones
Cat 5e Keystones

Monoprice
Wall plates
Coax Keystones
Cat 5e fittings

Home depot was $1.67 for all keystone wall plates. 2/3/4 were all the same price, the 6 port came up to $1.99 I think. Both the coax and cat5e keystones were $2 a piece. Not bad since I could get them right away.
