So I have my house up for sell and looking to get a bigger/nicer place. One of the things I always have dreamed of doing with a home is to wire it all up and geek it out (tastefully). What I am wondering is, have any of you guys done anything like this? What projects have you done, how did they turn out, what were the problems you saw? What aspects of a home would you look for if you were planning on doing this.
To give you an idea of what I would like to do:
Server setup in the office or closet somewhere
-tvs everywhere with some sort of front end to play media from server (1080p capable)
-security system , security cameras (alert me via email or sms on certain events)
-home automation (control thermostat remotely, turn lights/tv on or off at certain times or during certain actions- entering room etc)
-?? expandable for things I have not thought of yet

thoughts? experiences? good websites devoted to this? my nerd level for wanting to do this on a scale of 1-10?

Thanks in advance for any input.
