I have a 12 pack of single mode run between wiring closets upstairs and downstairs. Only one server running feeding media to my xbmc's everywhere but quite a bit on gig. Nothing overly noisy unless you have your head in the closets.

What nobody wired their abode with fiber ? Am i the only one hereI ran a bunch of fiber from the telco rack to the server rack to reduce the risk of damage to expensive servers ... it's likely to be meaningless but it is just a little extra precaution. The server rack is at least a little bit isolated from everything else.
That's overkill. I have very little in the house except what's needed to support ordinary client machines for everyone in the house. That means GigE to several locations, some of which have small GigE switches of their own. For example, my wife's computer is colocated with a network-connected color printer/scanner/fax. The basement location has a WiFi access point, the home backup server (though lately, I've started using a colo machine for that), etc. For me -- two generations of laptops (one as backup for the other), and a Mac Mini as backup desktop. Then there's another access point, a B&W laser printer, etc. But anything noisy? Nope. --Steve Bellovin, http://www.cs.columbia.edu/~smb
