I don't know where in India you can shop, but if you Google for "PSU Tester" or, as it seems to be called in India, "SMPS tester" you may find local results. It should look something like this; http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16899705003

That's a useless purchase; don't waste your money even if you find one.
No offence to you Karsten, I see no fault in your recommendation. It's just not worth spending money to test ONE PSU.
@rajivpao I think you're being paranoid here.
First you asked if your power cord will work, now you're asking if your PSU will work. Just plug it in and give it a run. It's not like your PC will blow up or something.

Id you will only ever purchase one PSU in your entire life, I agree. If you will not ever sit and look at a PSU and wonder why it's not starting the PC, I will agree. In most cases it's invaluable tool for those of us tinkering with computers.

It happened because you used that cheap converter. Last time I used such a converter when abroad in the UK, it blew the fuse. I was lucky the hotel didn't fine me, or it'd have set me back 100 pounds easily. That's INR 10000 by the way.

Believe me, I know this country, I'm a citizen of India myself. 90% of computer users won't even know which wire is which; let alone diagnose their PSU.
Anyway, I think the tester is too expensive. Most of local Indian power supplies are a half of that price.($24 or INR 1477).
Still if you insist he get the tester, I see no harm in doing so.
@rajivpao The easiest way to look at how many volts the PSU is putting out is to download a program such as HWinfo32 and look at the sensors. A PSU that has been tested and approved will have the voltages well within limits. Still if you're not sure that the PSU is fine, send for a replacement or get a new PSU. The VS series is one of Corsair's cheaper PSU's, not sure how reliable they are.
