Alright but I'm storing enough tools and large coils of various cable/wire at my home so I'm going to pass until I move into a bigger place. I don't even work in IT so I'd probably snip one segment and have the rest laying around forever. Still cheaper than buying finished cables at the store, though, I give you that.
You can hire low voltage writing contractors to do it, they usually charge per run (up to a certain length), and they only leave you with what you will use. They're a bit more costly, since you're paying for their time, but it will save you the hassle of buying tools, learning how to use them, buying cable, running the line, doing the crimping (usually several times as you will probably mess up at least a few), and everything.
Saves a bunch of headaches... just an option I'll throw out there.
Don't hire an electrician for the work, most don't understand the requirements of low voltage or ethernet, they're simply not trained for it. They can wire up your fridge or whatever perfectly great, but the rules that apply to high voltage are very different than what is needed for low voltage... specifically Ethernet.
