Yep, $10 multimeter will do everything you need, and you might actually use it for something else afterward.

With the multimeter, I'd also recommend testing the original outlet and any power strips and such it was plugged into to begin with. If there's something wrong with the power coming in, it could've killed both powersupplies in the same manner.

But... I'm starting to agree that it's prolly not a PS problem. You said lights on the motherboard were glowing. A green LED would prolly be normal, but were there others?
