With one solid PSU line under their belt, we look at a modular one and see how well it holds up.
PSUs haven't really changed much over the past several years. Other than form factor changes and increased power output, a typical PSU today isn't that much different from one of five years ago. We may get UV covers and cables, LED lights, but generally, you stick one into your case and plug in the necessary power cables and pray you didn't buy a bunk one that will fry your system.
With system cooling becoming more of a challenge to manage, it's strange that it wasn't until recently we've began seeing more modular PSUs. The basic goal of these PSUs is to reduce clutter from cables by hooking up only the cables you need. The purpose is to eliminate not only the unsightly leftover cables typical in a PC setup, but to also improve system airflow by having fewer cables obstructing case fans.
