My modular did not help too much on the number of cables, cause I had to plug all but one cable in.

But the design of of the Corsair HX series wires helped out a lot. Made running and hiding them easier IMHO.

I love the molded together design.

Well for me it hasn't improved too much just because I still need most of the cables from the PSU. But it has helped though. It's always nice to be able to unsnap the ones you don't need, which in my case, the Mach1 modular PSU has good cable positioning.

I'll never go back to standard either, I hear ya!

I think the only reason for me to go back to non-modular is to get like a PC Power & Cooling Single +12v Rail 1200w PSU.

Greating f'ing PSU on the market in the US.

But right now I'll stick to my Corsair HX1000, which I get for under $170. Which costs $240 on Newegg right now.
