Something I forgot, one of the other things I'm doing is moving my little home server in there. I have a small mini itx board that use for backups. When I buy a new drive for my laptop I stick the old one in a little USB case and plug it in that server. The one from my wife's is shared via samba so she can copy files to it. I run a simple rsync every week to drop a copy of everything in the server.
I'm moving it into the closet so anything that does need synched in some way can be connected to it then remotly connected to as needed. I'm going to move my wireless in there as well, no need to have it siting out in the way.
I've decluttered the rest of my houe in the same way, replaced a whole entertainment center with a wall mounted LCD Tv and an all in one dvd player/tuner deal and the cable from it to the tv is inside the wall. So you now see no furniture, no cables, etc.
