they sell testers from super cheap that just tell you if it is operating correctly to mega expensive (Pro) which tells you voltage and ampage or what not.

What brnad is your PSU (Aspire right?) and what wattage (500W right?). If so I think tht might be enough. And you are talkin Dual GeForce 7600GT's in SLI right? bout time you came to the light side of nVidia. And also does your Mobo even support SLI? If so ......WHY DID YOU BUY AN ATI CARD? (never have understood why so many people bought SLI boards then got an ATI card)

Is there a way to test how much power your computers power supply is using? Im planning to run 2x7600.

There are various ways, yes, of varying quality. The main problems are:

1. It is physically difficult to take complete measurements of the power supply's output.

2. It is somewhat complex to take useful measurements of the power input into the supply.

A device like this is probably the most straightforward way to get a decent estimate. If you use something like that, it's important to remember it can't account for the efficiency of the power supply itself, which is likely somewhere in the vicinity of 80%.
