Just came across a neat gizmo called an "Antec Power Supply Tester"
recommended by Tom's Hardware. Have one waiting for me at Circuit City
(ordered online for instore pickup). At $10 (including tax) the price is
right and it's suppose to make testing power supplies much simpler. I'm
still not sure the multimeter I have is the right kind to have, but we'll
see when I get the power supply tester. Thanks everyone for the
suggestions.
