Whats Up The Modular PSUs

I have one, and most of those concerns are FUD. The plugs add a miniscule amount of resistance that won't affect performance. Don't worry about those things if you're thinking about buying one, they're mostly BS.

Have two pc's at home with modular PSU. Never have had any problems. I think 98% of folks wouldn't. Unless you have a harsh environment, or are the type of person that has to tinker inside the system every day, it won't cause a problem. They will still be far ahead of any generic system as far as quality goes. Just plug it in an forget it. Remember that just like any "plug", they are designed to have a limited number of matings before they fail. So if you don't unplug, replug all the time, no worries.

I like the modular psu's. I've been running an Antec Neo480 for a while now with no problems. I've used it on a few boards. I like them because usually with a normal psu I'm spending a couple nights cutting wires, adding new connectors and what not to customize the unit for my needs. The modular tends to save me a little time.
