Supply Tested
How can I test a power supply?
I'm buying a computer case with a power supply and want to be able to test the power supply to make sure it works so how could I do that? Would I have to buy the motherboard as well and buy the processor and RAM too or what? I just don't have the money to buy the entire system right now.. and I'm freaking out. haha
And no I'm not going to stick the power cord into a potato to test it.

This a pretty simple tester and not too expensive but there are others.
