Alex,
I have been working on:
http://www.nycwireless.net/unwireapt
I didn't know what to put in for a realistic estimate on cabling costs
per AP. $300-$1000 is too large of a range to be useful. What do you
think the average would be?

The most rediculously over engineered router I ever built was barely

cat5e goes for $400, there is 3900 remaining in budget. At $40 usd for a
wrt54g, that limits you to 90 something access points, at 2 per floor a
45 storey building is unwired for $5k usd. With enough change left over
for rj45 heads, a spiffy hub or six and a new crimping tool, you will
need one when all is said and done.
I encourage my competitors to budget like that.
There's a difference between 'works for me after weeks of hacking' setup
and a deployable solution that works right on day one, and on day 1000
without maintenance.
You need:
a) enclosures etc to make sure stuff doesn't get jacked.
b) pay for labor to run the wire around. It could be 300-1000$ for that.
c) non-ghetto APs. I encourage competitors to build their business based
on wrt54g and unofficial firmware
