PSU Tester

Ever been faced with a computer that wouldn't start?

If you've got a computer that's in Paperweight Mode, though, this little box ought to do just fine at telling you whether it's worth yanking the PSU or not. Just unplug the ATX cable from the motherboard, plug it into this tester, and you ought to immediately know whether the failure to proceed is thanks to the PSU or not.

Dan's data does a nice write up on the Connectland-branded ATX Power Supply Tester that doesn't cost much, doesn't weigh much, and doesn't load up a power supply much. Won't tell you if it's squeezing out every possible Watt, but it wil tell you if it's being flakey.

See what Dan has to say!
