Thanks for the link. I remember reading in an old issue of Maximum PC that PC Power & Cooling refused to make modular PSUs because of increased resistance. I don't think it matters much in reality, and I can certainly appreciate the convenience and reduction in cable clutter. Now if only an S12 had modular connectors... *looks disapprovingly at M12's tiny fan but awaits SPCR's official review*

Well, after seeing the good performance of the Enermax Liberty, I began wondering how big the problem really was. Nice to see someone tested it out.
