Not hard if one is willing to be serious about it.  You just have to be willing
to break out the serious power tools to do installations properly.  Drop
ceilings are also pretty convienient, except you still have to deal with hiding
the cable running upto or down from the ceiling.

I hate drive cables.  Luckily I've never had permenant damage result from 
getting one backwards.  I did see a machine where the guy plugged his hard 
drive power cable in backwards.  That drive was finished.
