Re: cabinet design
When I built my cabinet, I left a gap of about 2 inches between the back of the cabinet and the shelves...that way, you've got some room to work with the wires. You could also just put a hole towards the back of each shelf - same concept.
It looks to me like the wires leading to your tv are coming from the bottom of the drywalled area and not the back...so I'd suggest either adding some holes to the top of the cabinet or not even having a top to the cabinet so you can have some room to work with.
Of course, you can always build something with wheels or build your shelves with pull-out rails.
In terms of space, I would definitely not stack your components. With it being 48 inches wide, you've got plenty of space - you'll probably be able to fit 2 or 3 components wide on each shelf. Just measure how high your current components are and build your shelves appropriately. Your receiver is probably going to be the biggest component - I left about 8" for that, but your cable box and a standard dvd player is going to need less than half of that. Once again, you've got plenty of room to work with, so you've got lots of options.
