For my next computer, I shall purchase a new power supply, and I have been considering this unit here, since it has modular cables and 80 plus platinum power efficiency, both of which are features that appeal to me greatly. However, I have been told by users at another forum that its output wattage, 1000 watts, is excessive for my uses (I use my computer mainly for internet browsing, word processing, music, movies, and only occasionally video games, and, even then, I usually play only older games or console games emulated on my computer; the newest games that I have played are Diablo II and Warcraft III, neither of which are recent in their own right), so it would be better to seek a unit with lower wattage, such as this unit here.
However, I like the larger switch on the back of the 1000-watt unit, because it has greater aesthetic appeal, which is very important to me; I intend for my next computer to be a very powerful machine, and a larger switch simply feels more appropriate for a more powerful unit.
Therefore, I am wondering: if I were to purchase the 860-watt power supply, would it be a difficult task to remove the small switch from that unit and install a large switch on it? From looking at the images of the units, I cannot imagine that the task shall be extraordinarily difficult, so I believe that it is worth an attempt. What does everyone else say on this subject? How difficult a task is it to replace the rear switch on a power supply?
