Building a Power Strip, any advise?

I plan on building a power strip to be used with my Audience aR2p-TO power conditioner.
What I would like to do is try different outlets. Right now, the outlets I have ordered are, an Audience Hospital grade cryoed , a Maestro cryoed, Hubble cryoed and a SR Teslaplex and a Furetech IEC.
I also ordered a 8 outlet chassis.

Any additional comments on the type of wire to use, or the wiring configuration?
Or some other helpful hints...

Elizabeth, I'm trying to understand your quad twist. Are you saying you are using 4 12 ga wires that are twisted together and then connected to each connection on the outlet? If so, wouldn't that be like a 3 ga aggregate and how the heck would you connect that much wire to an outlet?
I must be missing something.

Ozzy, Cryoparts sells some nice readymade powertstrips at very reasonable prices as far as high end power strips go. By the time you buy a high quality non-ferrous enclosure and add up the cost of receptacles, power inlet and wiring, your total cot could be as much or greater than what Cryoparts is asking for the readymade item.

Gbart, you are probably right. But I will have the knowledge of knowing exactly what my DIY is made of.

P.S. I did contact Cryoparts website and the phone number that was listed.I was told that the main man had died and they are no longer in buisness.

I just purchased a Oyaide R1 outlet. So when I build the power strip I will use;

*Audience Cyroed,
*Maestro,
*Oyaide R1
*Synergistic Teslaplex.
Still waiting for many of the parts.
