I forgot to mention that, you do not need to buy a full spool of wire to make a couple of cords, you can order the Volex cords from Anixter, Mouser or various other parts suppliers. They are Belden 19364 with no IEC end, and a molded on male wall plug. They are very inexpensive and you can just cut off the male plug and use the plugs of your choice. If you order a longer length, say four meters, you can also cut it into two and make two cords from it.
