Best DIY power cable. Why not make?

Ok perhaps I don't get it.  You have hot, neutral, ground and connectors.  I am looking for advise from those that have found the secret sauce in making power cables or at least those that have had great success.  With all the quality cable and connectors why not make your own?  I refuse to pay $2,000 plus for a power cable that would take a hour to build.  I am seeking your guidance and suggestions.  Thanks!

I had great success with DIY - Furutech Power Cords and Connectors. I have build some PC’s for my amps using FP-S032N (12AWG) with FI-28 (R) Connectors for $350.00. They are excellent performers for the money.  

If you are going to build cables, I highly recommend a one time investment of Furutech Nano Liquid. 

They are on sale at VHAudio.com. You can count on stellar customer service from from the owner - Chris VenHaus.

@goose, I agree!
I have not tried the following power cord however it looks to me like it should be very good. This has been posted several times by Williewonka (Audiodon member): http://image99.net/blog/files/category-002ahelix-power-cable.html

no need and connectors for $350 that is really worth few buck max sounds REALLY DIY fun LOL!

If you go McMaster and specify number of conductors and strands per conductor and conductor type, than purchase connectors from there, you'll end-up with $10...20 DIY powercord depending on connectors.
