There are several advantages for the modular conversion. With this converted power supply you can save space, provide better air flow and if you have a windowed case it gives the inside a more tidy look.

I do not use all of the wires provided with this power supply so now I can eliminate a few unwanted wires. For example, I only need 2 connectors for the 1 DVD drive and 1 CD-RW drive and 1 more connector for the hard drive. The other wires are for the motherboard and fans. I can eliminate whatever I do not need to use.
