The best option is to design and have your furniture custom built. The TV (CRT, between 20 - 27") would go in the center, above it, all of your AV switch boxes. The consoles would be inside squares, tall enough for any top loading unit. Power strips strategically located all over the furniture (you wont turn on everything at the same time, so no worries here). Corded controlled systems would go below the TV as much as possible.
A 2.1 speaker system should be more than enough...
