You can find an ATX power supply tester for under $15.00.  Here is the site:
http://www.pcpowerandcooling.com/

This little tester places the powersupply under load and has an indicator
that tells you if
the supply is bad.  It sure beats doing a back probe with a multimeter on
the the 20 pin
ATX power connector.
