    The PSU in post #1 looks ok, the main thing with cheap PSU's is how long they last and how much power you can draw from them - both are seriously reduced from a really solid PSU.

    Secondly, for a multimeter, look in the Electronics forum, :search: or simply GOOGLE for the smegging answer. Fool.
