The devices inside a PC that actually do the work, meaning the IC "chips", all
operate on relatively low voltage DC. Exceptions might be the cooling fan and
the hard-disk-drive motor, but the actual electronics needs pure low-voltage DC.
That's decidedly NOT what you get from the wall outlet, so every computer needs to
include a substantial section called the "power supply", where the kind of power
that's also used to operate dishwashers and hair-dryers is stepped down, rectified,
regulated, and purified, to produce power that processors and other ICs can use.
