Ugh, I mean, measure voltages and how much they differ from the
expected +3v, +5v and +12v. Up to 10% might be ok, more than this,
might be not ok. Voltages might slip when the box is loaded, drives
are working etc.

In case your power supply is modular one, it might be possible to plug
multimeter into supply's unused sockets.
