Its a good psu and modular, but maybe a bit too much money for an old computer.

Waaaaaaay overkill for older systems. Why do you need/want modular for older stuff? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139008

so the computer wont have a bunch of unwanted cables that will never even get used

buy a cheaper psu and cut the extras off

Or just spend 20 minutes and run them neatly and bundle the extras. Honestly PII, PIII, or Skt A systems aren't worth a $90 AR power supply.

there is no extras just hd, mobo, cpu, ram, cd/dvd rom thats it

No bundle the extra cables

No bundle the extra cables

cause i like modular better and like i said no need to include extra cables that will never get used

So what are you going to do with all the spare modular cables from these PSU's?

You pay more for modular. Doesn't seem like good stewardship of resources for old computers like that, if you ask me. But its your money. For your stated purpose, I'd go with one of these:
