A modern power supply is
 | 
						|
essentially a DC-DC converter.
 | 
						|
Therefore it first rectifies
 | 
						|
the AC power from the wall
 | 
						|
into DC.The nice thing about
 | 
						|
Such a converter, is that it
 | 
						|
can take a whole range of
 | 
						|
input voltages and still
 | 
						|
Output a constant 12v for our
 | 
						|
Pc components.A cheaper power
 | 
						|
Supply might use cheaper parts
 | 
						|
in the primary side, which is
 | 
						|
Why it will only be rated for
 | 
						|
200-250v. |
