Who was the guy that was making the powerstation?

That looks pretty neat, you could have a psu for mb and graphics and this for everything else. You could also use it to help with clean wires

Am I wrong or isn't this just like the X station, or whatever that one PSU is called that allows you to unplug wires that you don't need?

It's just a modular cable extension. Not at all like what I'm working on and not as space saving as just having a modular power supply.
Quite a comparatively lame solution they came up with.

It's an interesting concept, though...

Every time you add a plug and jack to a voltage path, you add another contact resitance point, not to mention opportunity for failure. The more times you plug and unplug the connection, the worse the point contact resistance becomes. That was the main reason I avoided modular PSU's despite the appeal of only having as many cables cluttering the inside of the case as were needed to do the job.

12V voltage isn't so hot either. 2x15A Maximum (which really means much much less).
I do think the mini p.s.t. option would be pretty cool if it came with a rheostat. But then you could just buy a multi channel bus rheostat.
It seems pretty cool at first, until you really start thinking about it. Furthermore, just looking at the picture of the system installed, it seems fairly obvious that it doesn't actually make cable clutter any less.

i have never seen this happen first hand as far as the plug and unplug goes. their are a lot of modular psu users out there and i havent seen any complants?

well atleast it looks cool....
and i wouldn't mind one of those instead of my pos generic psu that has very weird voltages.
