I just carry a known good PSU. I find it faster to swap out a PSU on a desktop computer than to test every connection. Especially when the problem is intermittent.

That's pretty cool. And it's so inexpensive that I'd buy it in a heartbeat if I still supported PCs for a living. As it stands now, I've already got a multimeter and as much as it's a pain shorting the power supply and testing each lead individually, it serves for my purposes. Now, if that thing could test a power supply under load it would be a different story . . .
