Turns out the Moorhouse place was DataWorld which was bought out 3 years
ago so no good there!

Best retail price I've found so far for the cat5 is TasTech with $120+gst
and best account price so far is Computer Dynamics at $110+gst. There is
certainly a lot of variability, the norm appears to be about $170 but some
prices are over $300 for a 305m pull-through box!!

The wall plates etc will probably have to be over the counter so they can
be chosen to match everything else - MasterTrade, Radcliff and a couple of
others are likely candidates.
