Flatscreen mounting question. Drywall Studs-do they have any side holes?

Posted by Jon L on May 15, 2010 at 18:21:25:
In the new house, it looks like I'm stuck with having to wall-mount my 58" plastma on the wall. The problem is, the built-in cabinet is not underneath the spot for TV but to the side, at least several studs away.

Do these studs usually have pre-existing holes on the side to snake some HDMI cables, etc through from the plasma? If not, I don't see how any installer would be able to drill holes on the sides of multiple studs, at least not without destroying the dry wall to get to them :(

Any suggestions?
