Do you mean testing the PSU for electrical safety?

Or actually checking if the PSU powers on?

If the first then invest in a PAT tester

If you want to just test your PSU for power then hook it up to a old mother board and short the power pins using a screwdriver if the PSU is working then you will hear the fans spin up on the CPU job done

I assume that you want one that tests under load and gives you a go/no go indication.

Thermaltake makes a cheap one with indicators and sound. And there is another that gives a digital readout. You Can find both here mail order and other places
