As long as you're not talking about hooking it up to anything else, as in a hobby project, then the best thing to do is go out and get yourself a power supply tester. Office Depot still sells Antec ones in my city for under $20, and I recently bought one or two over eBay, direct from China, for under $4--shipping incl--each!
You just plug the tester up to the PS, plug the PS into the wall outlet, turn it on, and ...there you go!
Just one word of warning--be careful with Bestec power supplies--nothing personal against the company itself, but they should all be replaced before they damage your computer. I never worked on any eMachine with one of these power supplies, which had a hardware-related problem, where there wasn't damage to the motherboard due to their Bestec power supplies. They are not properly 'fused' to protect your computer against spikes, surges, etc.
