Another alternative is to dumpster dive for telco cross-connect wire. Telco techs toss that stuff by the mile. It's 24AWG solid, but it solders well to all but the smallest or most tightly packed SMDs. I have hundreds of feet of the stuff. You can buy it for about $50 per thousand feet (for two conductors.)

~~That's for copper; this wire seems to be aluminium.~~

Edit: It's actually tinned copper. I didn't see any copper when cutting it, but leaving some flux on it for two weeks exposed a little bit of copper (and the flux turned green).

So this will give me resistance... am I missing something here? Watts rather by the way :)
