pictures of my "computer room"

I applied a moisture barrier to the walls (roofing felt), then built stud walls about 1.5" from the concrete stem walls, leaving lots of room for fishing cables. A layer of sheetrock and mud finished it all off. It's dry and warm--very often, better than the "living quarters" above it. This was part of a larger house remodeling project, so the cost was not too onerous. One thing that I also thought to do was to install several empty runs of thinwall conduit between floors and drop a length of 10 AWG steel wire through them. That way, you just cut into the walls above and below it and fish with a magnet to find the wire, and attach your fishtape. These are outside walls and I hate digging through insulation... --Chuck
