There's absolutely no reason to not use a good computer power cord, providing that the gauge of the wire inside is at least as big as the original one. The cable should state the gauge on the outside with something like "16/3" Meaning 16 gauge and 3 conductors. Good 'ol RadioShack might have such cables. Just shake the cable a bit before use to release the computer data that adhere to the jacket
