- Appropriate maximum wattage (2x the amount intended to be pulled)
- Efficiency (70%+)
- Power distribution between the +12V cord and the others
- Fans, and probably size
- Voltage stability (5% fluctuation on + voltages and 10% on -): How do I even measure its actual voltage, stick a voltmeter into the ATX12V plug?
- Over current protection: I don't even know the safety values for this, so I guess I won't bother
- Other protections: SCP, OVP together with OCP at least

You'll be amazed how well the Multimeter's connectors fit into a Molex connector, it fits -exactly-.
When you do this, make sure the Multimeter has built-in current resistance (any normally branded one has this), to avoid short circuiting your PSU... :+)
