I recently bought a new house and i hate whoever wired it. in light of that ive decided to run eathernet, coax and phone to each room.

this is a thrown togeather diagram of the physical layout.
i want to be able to host lans without tripping over eathernet (x's represent the network jacks) so for the girage i am planning on doing wall plates on the walls and since i have exposed rafters just have eathernet come down from the celing in the middle of the girage. I want to have all of the routers physically in the network closet for easy troubleshooting. In terms of topology this is how i was planning on having it set up.
What i have:
I allready own the router, switch, 1000 feet of cat 5 the crimper and ends.
What i Need:
I need to buy bulk rg6 & ends as well as the room plates and appropriate inserts. the rg6 splitter (are they all the same) and some sort of phone splitter which i currently know ziltch about.
I'm looking to do it as cheaply as possable. so if anyone has any tips/advice to save time or a penny it's apprecieated. Also some good links on wiring phonelines would be much apprecieated. I know you can use eathernet to do this, but im not sure how or any of the real details. at any rate thanks for reading/help and let me know what im missing on my list of stuff i need.
