PSU with detachable / modular cable management Vs stable cable (Recommendations)
Hello,
I was thinking about upgrading my PSU and I was looking at the following 2 Thermaltake PSUs
THERMALTAKE W0132U TOUGHPOWER 1000W (Modular Cables)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6817153053
THERMALTAKE W0155RU TOUGHPOWER 1000W (Non Modular Cables)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6817153056
Other than modular cable management, does the W0132U offer anything more?
Are modular cable PSU as stable as non-modular cable PSUs? I heard some time ago that they're not as reliable. Please correct me if I'm wrong!
Also what's the difference between THERMALTAKE W0132U TOUGHPOWER 1000W
& THERMALTAKE W0132 TOUGHPOWER 1000W?

My current setup:
Intel Core 2 Quad 9550 2.83GHZ @2.83GHZ (Regular Fan-Cooler)
Kingston HyperX 2GB 800MHZ @833MHZ
Asus P5B-E Intel 965 chipset (On-board 1Gbit Lancard)
2 x 1TB Seagate 32MB Cache Hds (Sata II)
2 x 512GB Seagate 16MB Cache Hds (Sata II)
Asus nvidia 7950GTX 512MB
Sound Blaster X-Fi Fatality Titanium Pro (PCI-E)
Winfast PVR 3000 Deluxe TV-Tuner (PCI)
1x Plextor DVD-RX 18x
1x Pionner DVD-Rom 16x
1 x 1.44 Floppy
Logitech Web-Cam (USB)
WinXP Pro
I'm considering about upgrading to a high-end GPU soon, so what type of PSU would I need for the above setup?
Thanks in advance.

trivial wrote:My concern about modular PSUs is that they double connection resistance. My practice has been to get into a state and just clip the extra wires and put a length of heatshrink on the ends.
What do you mean?double connection resistance
Another words you don't recommend modular PSUs?
Thanks, I got that specific M/B 2 years ago so that I could upgrade to one of those CPUs when their price was right.Nice CPU!

Well, I didn't get them all together in one go of course... 
But as time passes by, each HD gets full so I have to get another one to back up my files!
Yes I never stop downloding stuff from P2P...

If I was you, I'd set up one drive to be the OS, then get AHCI + hotswap working so you can swap in the other drives when wanted. No reason to waste so much electricity running four HDDs constantly when you only use one or two of 'em, and it sounds like you weren't planning on RAID boosts anyway.
Maybe it's time to stop wasting space and money on stuff you only use rarely :O
