There are three types of PSU: standard, partially modular and modular. Conventional power supplies are those to which most users are accustomed, such models have a large bundle of wiring tightened inside the case.There is no possibility of increasing the length of the cables, replacing them in the occasion of damage, or simply dismantling unnecessary lines. The second type is these ones to which our experimental, partially modular systems belong. There comes out a limited number of wires, and as a rule, the other cables are connected using connectors on the case.
