Re: [H] Modular PSUs?

LOL! The connectors used in modular are not going to cause resistance problems, keeping track of the cables might be an issue for some. Not enough of a reason to not use modular IMHO, the only reason I can see is if price is higher for same PSU to be modular. If the connectors are standard
