Found Something Interesting, RE: Power Supply...

I think at least some of it is pretty logical, and I have read independant stuff along the lines of what's in that link. (Can't remember where exactly though)

+1.

It's just that the link puts it into "simpler" words.

Yes, they keep referring to their own brand for marketing. Doesn't make it any less truthful, though.

The first two links are some pretty straight forward info, the third guy seems to know what he's talking about.

Note the title "So what's all this rubbish about multiple 12 volt rails?"

3. DON'T LOSE POWER WITH MODULAR PLUGS

Due to their look, convenience, and cost savings for manufacturers, modular plugs have become a popular power supply feature. Unfortunately, there has been little or no discussion of the impact of this feature on overall performance and reliability. The fact is, modular plugs limit power by adding to electrical resistance. The voltage drop can be as much as would occur in 2 feet of standard wire. Worse yet, modular plugs utilize delicate pins that can easily loosen, corrode, and burn, creating the potential for a major system failure. That's why professional system builders specify uninterrupted wire!

for all those modular loosers
