What are the kinds of power supply?

Answer 1

This cannot really be answered. There are many variations of power supplies. Here are some of the considerations:

1. Wattage. Computer power supplies come in different wattages.

2. Rail configuration. Power is divided into rails. There are 3 main ways this can be accomplished. The simplest is to put everything on a single rail. This violates the power supply standards, since there should not be more than so many watts on a single rail. The main concern there is a fire hazard, though ripple (electrical noise) can be another concern. They are the easiest to hook up since you don't have to worry what wires go where for the computer to operate, so long as you don't overload the wiring. The opposite extreme is a multiple rail configuration. Those can provide the cleanest voltages, but you have to be careful in how you distribute the wires, and they are expensive. Most common are split rail configurations where there is a single rail, but separate filters and regulators that can power down the entire power supply should a single wire be overloaded. They can been the biggest pain to hook up if you are running close to the maximum.

3. Fan configuration. While fans in the back are traditional, the new thing is to use larger and slower fans on the underside to reduce noise. This is often coupled with automatic fan controls as well.

4. Types of plugs. If you use SATA drives or high end video cards, you have to have compatible plugs.

5. Energy efficiency. There are now 80+ power supplies that are very energy efficient. They cost more than power supplies that are not rated as such.
