I used to think that having a modular power supply was a must for me. The thought of being able to remove unused cables seemed very nice, rather than throwing them all above the optical drive... however, I just thought that whether or not a power supply is modular doesn't really seem all that important to me now, considering how even with the modular cables, I still end up throwing excess connectors up there (I have a single molex is use for a case fan, but I have to have a whole molex wire with 3 connectors is use for that...), and excess cabling as well. This in mind, I'm starting to think that power supply modularity really means nothing and is a gimmick, since there will always be excess cabling no matter what.
