Here's a little DIY trick that I use that some of you may like...

Digikey (and many other places) sell power supply splitter cables for 5 1/4" 
floppy drives (the big ones). If you buy 10 they're $1.75 each. They have one 
male and two female ends. You cut off one female end, strip the wires and 
attach them to the PC board. Attach one of the female ends to the wires coming 
out of your power supply. Now you can daisy chain togther as many modules as 
you want and the only thing you ever have to solder is the splitter cable to 
the PC board.

To create more of a "star" type power distribution just add a couple of the 
splitter cables off of the power supply before you start attaching modules 
(actually I guess this is more of a "tree").
