I guess you're right. Johnny Guru gave that Zues Modular uber high praises and put it in the same category with PC&C but he notoriously hates single rail designs too :cool:

Is the PC P&C modular? The ones I looked at didn't seem to be....

The reason they are against modular PSU's is because you create two things with each additional connection within a rail: resistance and potential for failure, ask Supes as he thought his PSU crapped out once before but was only a corroded modular connection.

I guess your right on that and for a tech station I guess it really doesn't matter... But $500 for a PSU is kinda hard to swallow if you WC parts to buy LOL. I mean I have a Corsair HX1000 that has been rock solid and it was under $300. I do wish they would put out a 1200w or higher though and it probably would cost a bit more but the Zues is still under $400.

One other thing on the PC P&C PSU's is that they are rated for rms wattage on the box for their minimum life expectancy where most PSU's are rated for their peak output ( not sustainable).

I 'm gonna save some scripts for another ride and pick up the cheaper, tried and true Silverstone Zeus 1200M until I get my pay day.
