Anthony,
Pardon. I'll accept that I thought my original ask was "sliding."
Again, no harm, no foul. And, Fair Dinkum!
I saw "modular" come to us many years ago. I decided to wait until
Industry locked-down the PC-side interface (the interface and cables
both You and Greg mention). OK.
This is a valid topic to discuss. But, my simple collection of active
List Members tells me that Industry has fixed/reduced errors
(resistance, corrosion, flaky connection) at the PSU/PC interface.
I am willing to gamble my $$$, if modular be my choice. Greg has past
SeaSonic experience. Because I now lean toward SeaSonic, I value his
viewpoint. Nothing more.
I am quite certain that if Greg ever visited my LAN for a looksee, I
would get a most stern 4F grade! LOL!
No, I do not run clients at Greg's level, however, we both share equal
mindsets about PSUs in general.
HTH.
Best,
Duncan

Duncan,
I really have no problems with people using what they want to use...And
as Josh says, if there is a cost difference, that's perfectly good
reasoning in my book. But Greg pointed to increased resistance and
failures due to connections. To me, that's something tangible to
consider, if indeed it is an issue. AFAIK, those are not issues worth
considering, but if Greg knows otherwise, I'd like to know about it.
The list is about hardware...personally, I don't feel I ever own a
thread. Topics tend so slide off sideways when people comment. That's
the nature of human interaction. That's they way it's been here
since....well, since longer than I can remember!

Anthony,
I completely accept your points. However, you are taking my thread
tangentially away from what I asked. I choose not to argue/discuss
"modular psus." Should I choose this I have already gone back and
re-read our past shares/threads. I knew Greg stepped in it as soon as
his share. Please put the swords away! Not necessary ATM.
Should I choose to go modular, I join a live, vibrant crew on this
List. Nothing more. I completely accept Greg's share. I live in his
camp totally ATM. No harm, no foul.
I was polling List opinion. Nothing more.
Best,
Duncan

How much extra resistance are you talking about here? What is the
likelihood of a failure due to these extra connections?
Also, throwing the cables in a cable draw doesn't create much of a
keeping track of problem. Using only cables you need ATM certainly helps
with case clutter and improved air flow. I see no downsides to modular.

I must be old school. All else being equal, I'd rather have a
non-modular
unit. I'd prefer not to have the extra resistance, extra point for
failure,
and extra crap to keep track of, but that's me. I also tend to use
most of
my connections, and always end up needing Y's for drives.
That said, if my SeaSonic S12-600 died today, I'd be getting the X750
Gold
as a replacement, and it's modular only.

Modular is the way to go. With less cable clutter inside, it's
always a
win-
win... :)

Are there List members that use Modular PSUs?
If so, opinions are welcome!
I understand "Modular" to mean a PSU that has selective electrical
connectors on the rear of the PSU (PC Output side) in place of the old
bundle
of wires and connectors.
I am shopping a pair of replacement PSUs. I may try Modular this
cycle.

Duncan
