I know you didn't ask about electrical and low voltage rough-in, but I'm going to tell you anyway: conduit, and plenty of it...3/4" is fine. Not point-to-point necessarily (unless you'll never have access above the ceiling again), but lots of stub-ups into the ceiling from various locations (front wall monitor locations, side wall and back wall input locations, rack locations, etc)...whatever you don't need you can just finish with a box and a blank plate and save that puppy for later. Add up all your electrical needs, break that down into 20amp circuits, then add 50% to that number. So if you need (4) 20amp circuits, install 6. That'll keep you well ahead of the de-rated load.
Eh...I wouldn't bother with the cement floor if you're not going to float a new one. Get some rugs. It'll be fine.
