Default Reusing computer A/C cords?

I have a big bunch of computer type power cords but very few A/C extension
cords. Any easy cheap way to convert a few? All I can think of is to cut
off the female plug and put on a standard three-wire A.C female plug. Am I
overlooking an easier cheaper way?

TIA


The big problem with these cords is the wire size. Most are 18ga and
16ga at best.
BTW blue is the neutral and brown is the hot on European cord sets.
