Context
This article is missing acontext and assumes the reader knows what is being discussed. Are these power supplies for desktop computers? What is the purpose of the UV or LED lights?  Will Beback   talk    21:46, 17 October 2009 (UTC)
 * These matters appear to have been addressed, per the article's state at this time. Northamerica1000 (talk) 12:32, 6 January 2012 (UTC)

Research
Modular Power supplies are not standardized, While they may have the standard ATX24 pin connector, and the 12V connectors permanently mounted, the pin-out on the modular connectors is not the same. This results, among other things, having to replace the modular cables anyway if the power supply is switched to another brand. For Example, Enermax and Seasonic, have modular connectors with the same type of physical-mechanical connectors on the power supply end, but if you swap them, the power supply won't power up.

Modular power supplies are simply ATX power supplies with some removable cables, They tend to be fancier than cheap power supplies

Oppose merge proposal
I oppose merging this article to the Power supply unit (computer) article, because:
 * The Power supply unit (computer) article is already lengthy, and the addition of all of this content will make it even lengthier
 * This is a reasonable content fork for the concept of computer power supply units
 * This article would benefit from improvements, such as the addition of more sources.
