As far as I know Hu is correct. A switching supply often doesn't use a transformer. PC supplies are switching supplies. There are filters and such to smooth the DC tho and to my knowledge a switching supply works fine for steppers and such. Perhaps the performance is not optimal, I am no expert on the subject. I used a PC supply on my first router with great success, as have many others.
