Good psu tester

So my computer has not been posting and I suspect that the problem is the power supply. I need a good and cheap power supply tester which can verify that it is actually not working before I send it back to EVGA. I don't need it to give me ripple, efficiency etc. I just need it to tell me whether the unit is working or not. 

 

Here are some which I have found on ebay.

Honestly you could just use a voltmeter if you had one laying around, and they're also more useful with other things as well

Specs: CPU: AMD FX 6300 Motherboard: Gigabyte 970A DS3P RAM: HyperX Fury 16GB 1866MHz GPU: MSI R9 270 OC edition Case: Sharkoon VS3-S SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB HDD: 1TB Caviar Blue PSU: Corsair CX500W

*If I say something that seems offensive, please don't take it seriously, it was most likely meant as a joke/sarcastically*
