The only other point I might make is that you may consider running Cat5/6 AND HDMI into the same junction box as your coax. You'll also be running all three of these to your HTPC box, so it might make sense to have your electrician "T" the conduit at the level of the TV and run a pipe to the junction box. This way you can run all three of these through the same conduit.

Also, looking at the picture and knowing what little I do about wiring, it looks as though you already have an outlet on the right that is likely either the beginning or the end of a circuit. Either way, it would be trivial to run power from this outlet up to the tv box and thus remove the need to tear up another section of wall. You'll likely be moving your power outlets to be nearer your components on that wall anyway and will thus be doing quite the damage to that side of the wall already. Why destroy both.
