Interesting take on the modular PSU concept

[AmberClad]

I saw this over at DriverHeaven and thought it was pretty interesting (the modular cables, that is -- not the performance or lack thereof of the PSU itself).

It's essentially a modular system that lets you extend the length of the modular cables by daisy-chaining together multiple extension cables. PSU cable extensions aren't exactly new, but the cabling system designed around the concept seems a bit uncommon.

This seems geared towards those people who are constantly posting questions about whether their PSU cables are long enough for a particular chassis (which incidentally seem to Antec case users more often than not...).

They might want to look into those issues with the PSU shutting itself down though :laugh:...

Just a gimmick and good marketing!

I'd rather just have a PSU with long enough cables than have a PSU which I need to buy cable extensions for.

Reminds me of the enermax liberty, that required extending cables to get a full set at times. I don't consider it a good solution in most circumstances as a long enough cable would be best to minimize the number of different connection points. Also I find the better cases have ways of hiding cables that are a bit too long, so that is rarely a major problem.
