@n80, there are all kinds of inexpensive racks out there new and used that could hold all of your equipment on an individual shelf per component. That's the route I would suggest at this time and don't worry about the rack being an audiophile quality rack or not. As long as we aren't talking about glass shelves you should be good to go.
If you don't care for that suggestion, pick up an inexpensive end table and if you do a search you can find a sturdy end table with a shelf on the bottom and you place preamp on top shelf and CDP on the bottom or vice versa. Or look for a four-foot (or longer) coffee table with a lower shelf and use it for all components.
Personally, I don't think it will really make much of a difference if your speaker cables are longer than what you need unless you start to pick up radio stations or interference in your area through your speakers. I would suggest you elevate the speaker cables off the floor by putting them ontop of anything you have around the house like 2"x4" blocks or some type of paper or styrofoam cups.
