Any Regrets with non-modular?

Hardware Hub PSU
1

I recently bought everything for my build, but I bought a psu that I thought was modular but it wasn't. Should I return it to newegg? Or should I keep it. Do any of you people ever regret buying a non-modular psu?

 

Here is the psu i bought: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151137

Thanks!

Lol it shows you in the pictures that its not modular. You must be a silly billy. Return it if you want there isnt really any cons to non modular apart from cable management and slightly better airflow.

shipping fees are pretty high here. that said i am a seasonic fb and on my file server i run one that is not modular, but it's low power so there are not a lot of wires. i run one that is modular on my primary and the wires would be pretty obvious. perhaps keep it for another rig and get another one that is modular.

I didn't really look at all of the pictures...

I will probably keep it, it since of the $15 restocking fee, and the added price of a modular + the shipping. I'd rather buy $3 of cable ties and have good management than spend $30 more.

Just run the excess cable behind the motherboard tray.  Is it as clean as a modular?  No.  But it's not a big deal.  Mines non-modular, and I have no real complaints.  It's a nice convenience feature, but it shouldn't be a deal breaker IMO.

For Mini-ITX systems yes.

I will ask you directly...

What do you prefer? Great non modular PSU or decent modular PSU?

Seasonic are among the best. I use Seasonic, instead of Thermaltake, Cooler Master, etc modular PSUs. Why? Cause i wish to have modular PSU, but having better one is more important to me...

My case is a Phanteks Enthoo Pro so it has PSU cover that can hide all of unused cables, so I have no complaints about having a non-modular power supply

I have a fully modular PSU and I really don't care for it. The connectors stick out and rather than having cables coming out at one point in the corner of the PSU they come out along the whole back. I think non modular looks much cleaner as long you hide the cables and don't just leave them bunched up behind the unit.

I have a non modular, in a case with zero space for wire management (only one side panel comes off, and there is no space behind the motherboard) so I have the extra wires in a knot sitting in the empty 5.25 inch bays, I also put my ssd in the middle of the extra wires since I had no where else to really put it.
