Nowadays the power supply market is a lot more diverse than in the past. One of the latest developments is the fully modular power supply, which allows you to connect only the cables that you really need. Basically this idea should lead to a cleaner case with less cable clutter. Today I'm going to take a look at the Ultra X-Connect 500W PSU which has a fully modular configuration.

The voltage swing on the 3, 5 and 12 volt lines was .06, .04 and .24 respectively which indicates that the the Ultra 600 watt Power Supply falls safely within the 5% voltage tolerances so many consider to be the grail by which to judge the worth of a power supply. The dual 80mm LED fans do provide a nice touch to the front and rear of the case and will make for some interest eye-candy on a windowed case.

Power supplies are probably one of the most overlooked and under appreciated components in a computer system. In the last few years however, the pre-modded power supply has appeared and has become much more mainstream. Today, I have one of the latest designs from Logisys Computer – The Pitbull. Available in three chrome finishes and boasting 500W of peak power and doing all of this for less than 50 bucks certainly merits taking a look!”
