For the easy solution, I'll echo the suggestions to just look for a sale on wireless equipment.
If you really want to go with a wired network--I personally would, but I regularly move large files across the network, so need the bandwidth--then I'd take Vanblah's advice and try to run it through the attic, walls, and crownwork, to make it as nice and professional as possible. If you're going to do it, do it right.
Out of curiosity, would running it through the ducting not require shielded cable?
