All's well that ends well. I'm up and running and luckily only had to pony up for a power supply and the diagnostics/labor. The mid-tower now sits next to & above my desk and far away from tasty adult beverages.  :rofl

Late but I found a power supply tester on amazon that looks pretty handy

https://www.amazon.com/CRJ-24-Pin-Switch-Jumper-Sleeved/dp/B01MSY4966/ref=sr_1_17?keywords=power+supply+tester&qid=1576294227&sr=8-17
Although that's not expensive, the paper clip does the same for free.'

I have one of these:https://www.amazon.com/Comidox-Computer-Supply-Tester-Automatic/dp/B07J9LRC6T/ref=sr_1_11?keywords=power+supply+tester&qid=1576335019&sr=8-11. It's a tad better than just a switch/clip, it also tells the voltages and Power Good time. Basically it's a dedicated multimeter. What's common with these cheap testers is that they don't tell how the PSU works loaded.

I've got an older system by today's standards that still runs the game well by my standards.

That's Dang near identical to mine...but I paid nearly $30 around 9 or 10 years ago....

They do come in very handy

Same here, the brand was different but the looks exactly the same. There's several more of them on Amazon, that was the cheapest at a quick glance.
