I already have a power supply, but I'm looking to upgrade to a quieter one in the near future. My plan is to move its components into the G5 power supply box (after I gut it), but I was wondering if there was anything I should look for when buying one. All of the PSU mods I've seen seem to have modular plugs on them, and I was wondering if it was something that would be advisable to go with in my search for a PSU.
These are the two I'm looking at now:

I'd like to hear what you guys think. I'm not going with a higher wattage since I don't need a ton of power to run my machine. I'm already running a 550 watt, and the only hardware upgrade I have any interest in is adding a SSD, which it could easily handle. I'm mainly looking for one that's best for my mod that also comes at a good price. It stinks having to leave my beautiful new G5 mod open with the PSU sitting next to it.
