Hello,

Not sure if this isnt more a question for the case section but it's related to PSUs anyways.

I'm in the process of replacing my PSU and I see that there are clasps securing the cables to the case. So how do I unfasten them ? (And reput them in when I have installed the new PSU)
Here is how they look like

They don't unfasten.
They never will unfasten.
You need to clip them off.
Then you can either replace them with new ones.....or replace them with whatever else you can find that will work....or if it doesn't bother you......and it being loose won't hurt anything (like if it's not going to hit a fan or something)......you could leave it loose.
 
Those are called zip-ties and they are a one time use only, use a knife, scissors or side cuts to cut the plastic band off the wires. I normally buy them in bulk of a 1000 and just have them laying around, good for securing just about anything. Zip-ties and duct tape are a maintenance mans best friend.
