One safety thing I should point out is that a power supply will 
typically fold back if the current is greater than the current rating of 
the supply, but all power cables that are of a smaller gauge than the 
current handling capability of the supply should be fused at the power 
supply end with a fuse.  The fuse current rating should be matched to 
the wire gauge.
If you do not know the current handling of a particular wire gauge, 
consult a copper wire table.

Be safe.
