I place my 24x24x48 screen cages on top of a plastic utility tub from Lowe's. They have the same dimensions, so I just ziptie them together. Then, I use the drain at the bottom and place a bucket under there to catch any excess water, so drainage is a snap. The sink is on 4 legs, so it give my 48" cage an extra 2 feet or so, and the bottom is simple to clean because it's just plastic. I put a piece of screen over the drain hole, and set my plants on there - I do that to keep any rogue feeders from escaping, but the water can still drain. As for the cords, I then just run them down the back (outside) of the cage to the outlet, and they are pretty hidden. Good luck!
