Very nice. Put in lots of power outlets!
Yep, I talked with the electrician yesterday, I'm having him put in 2 x 4 plex on each long wall and a single 4 plex on each short wall, so I'll have 24 in total split over to 20A circuits. I've opted for a drop ceiling with 4 x 4ft fluorescent lamps, so it's gonna be nice and bright.
Looks nice! Outlets are a must. I have 24+ in my small shop.
You also should look into a proper way to deal with dust if your doing wood/metal work.
The wood/metal work will stay in the garage, this is going to be used primarily for electronics. I'm sure a few odd holes will be drilled in metal but it's actually a fairly small space, about 12 x 16 ft, so no room for machines. Much of the room will be work benches and shelving, for as my wife says, I have a lot of stuff though I think she might have used another word for stuff.
I am going to put in some type of exhaust for soldering fumes. Wasn't a big deal when working in a 1500sqft space but now that it's going to be sealed off for warmth I don't want to be sucking fumes during a marathon build.
Interesting construction there Mike. It looks like you have a floating bottom plate.
Sharp eyes.
Yes, floating walls are required by code in Colorado because of heaving soil though our house seems very stable.
The most important question is what kind of system are you going to install. 
Ha! Well for now it will get the existing shop system which is a PC with an ESI Juli@ 24/192 card feeding my modded (what else) Swans M200 speakers. The ESI card was purchased for measuring but plays music quite well and of course will play any file I happen to have. The nice thing about the Swans is built in amplification. Just a chip amp but when it blew a PS cap I took the opportunity to tweak it up a bit and they actually sound pretty good.
