It would be great to see an article on THG about power supplies. As of right now, there really aren't any recent articles on power supplies. Perhaps this is because they seem to be a rather boring part of the computer. Boring maybe, but important. Maybe mpilchfamily and THG could collaborate to write an article?

It would be cool if they took the time to chart all the different power supply types. ATX12V , MicroATX , TFX12V , ATX , EPS12V , AT , ATX , BTX , CFX 12V , SFX , SFX12V are the types I found, maybe there are more? I don't think the newest types are listed here, I may be wrong

Different current, rail currents, cable ends, ect.
What are the standard specs. for each type?
Do the ones we purchace meet these requirements?
Active PFC or not?
Is there a real advantage to Active PFC?
There are now up to 4 12v rails in power supplies. Is this a new type?


If ya ask me, I think it's just a little confusing how to choose the correct power supply needed for each build.
And that's not counting the durability testing!
