    which multimeter should I buy?

    I went to radioshack.com in search of a digital multimeter, but several popped up. Im not a hardcore modder at all.. in fact all I need this for is to check my psu rails and stuff. so which one should I get?

    stick red probe in voltage source, black in ground. its accurate enough for vmods and such. the lil black and yellow guy. has a knob in the middle. works great.
