Note back 6 of the side opens to allow access to cords.  Top section of side can be removed to access rear of components.
Space for LAN style computer in the center section.  The back of the top section stops about 3 inches from the shelf to allow cords to pass through.

Cherry entertainment center.  4 drawers are big enough to hold DVDs.  Top extends 7"past the back of the cabinet.  Sides have a 6" panel on the back which open to allow access to cords, power supplies, and general connections.  I chose to use 1/2" cherry plywood top instead of solid to keep weight down and provide a very flat surface.  Drawers hold >60 DVDs each

I used 1 sheet of 1/2" cherry plywood and 1 sheet of 1/4" plywood for the backs. All the drawer fronts and vertical pieces were shorts which the local mill sells for 50% off so they were pretty cheap. I would say I had <$200 in wood and another %50 in drawer slides and handles.
