Got these plastic boxes from Amazon like $20 for both. Used some screws and zip ties. Not the cleanest but gets your power strips and power bars tucked away in a safe accessible place.
I was thinking about getting those nice cord mgmnt control boards however after watching some videos and seeing all those equipment cords tied up I though what a pain it must be to unplug stuff for maintenance. This option leaves cords out but if you untangle and just let them rest where they are it will be less work in the future.

So in short cheap & easy.

Anyway wanted to share, felt proud of my little DIY.

Looks very neat!

Your absolutely correct about tying everything up and then the pain when you need to remove something, it can be a nightmare, although it beats the wire nest!
 
Lost an extension for a powerhead the other day --still have not found it in my rats nest of wires behind the tank.
