(Bad english )Its posible remove cables of the power supplys?
Want change the power supply of my alienware amplifier but only need the motherboard and the gpu cables and maybe one for an extra fan. Can cut and remove the others??

Definitely not - you can only remove the cables on modular power supplies since they plug in to the PSU.

New PSU comes with new cables anyway (whether modular or non-modular) so I don't understand your reasoning.

I don't see why he wouldn't be able to cut the cables he doesn't need. While I think it's stupid because he may need them eventually, I don't see how they would pose any problems as long as they are insulated on the end and not in contact with any conductor to trigger a short circuit.
