A little more info would be a great start.

Voltage range?
Current capacity?
SMPS or Linear?

At the very least, please let us know what work it will be used for in general.
Then you should get the help you are looking for.

Regards

That's 33.3% for answering 1 of 3 questions.

Try again.

If you need those voltages on separate rails then it may get a bit expensive, however there are a number of benchtop power supplies that will easily cover 0-40v at about 5Amps.

why 120 V ? forgive me but you sound inexperienced and nobody in their right mind plays with 120V unless they really have to and usually a 120V supply would be a separate unit as with such a voltage difference it would just complicate matters.

You still need to answer the questions we have put to you. there are a number of second hand power supplies going on ebay, I just bagged a 3-15V @ 25A for £40
