Generally the only solution to that (I know, because I've dealt with it) is to embrace the mess and relocate it: Put the power strip inside of the console and pull all excess cabling inside. Yes, it will make (at least a portion of) the interior of the console a mess, but that's pretty much your only option, outside of some serious cable management hardware being added."


This, putting power strip in console to have only one wire to the power outlet will help.

If your console has a back, long Velcro strips along the back of the cabinet to hold excess wire.

and as hulk pointed out, the second you have every single cable nicely grouped, organized and zip-tied, you will have to add/remove/swap/take the component out for some other super random reason and you'll have to cut the zip tie and unbind..pull a cable out that is attached to 40 other cables and then everything goes all to hell again.

been there a million times. just cram everything inside the console and try to avoid opening it when guests are over.
