The popular opinion on modular type power supplies is that the well built models are a great value while the poorly made ones aren't worth 1/2 their selling price.

as Blain says, to get a good modular PSU, atleast $100 is necessary. For a budget PSU, a modular one is far worse then a regular one. Decide on your budget.

Not necessarily.
Its pretty much split 50 - 50.
There arew definite drawbacks as well as advantages.
I have never seen a consensus on these forums thats was leaning towards the use of modular PSU`s.
When I have seen people say they were good most of those people were using a good solid brand such as Enermax...etc

3rd poll. That and the responses show that many people here would prefer a quality modular PSU. Granted, its not a definitive poll

the first question you had a total of -- 60 people vote
the 2nd question you had a total of -- 51 people vote
the 3rd question you had a total of -- 57 people vote

I would hardly call that a majority of the people who even use these forums let alone those who just the general hardware forum!!

If you get one, get a good one, because they work great. If you get a crappy one, you have a much higher chance of having problems.

Enermax Liberty
Corsair HX
Enermax Galaxy
Antec NeoHE
Seasonic M12 (when it comes out)
Ultra X2 (if you have a small budget)

are some of your better options.
