I never have my stuff tested. If it doesnt work I simply send it back. I wouldn't do it, but if you don't want to take a chance and get a dead on arrivel part then you could get it tested

I don't buy tested either. Seems to me theres just 2 kinds of tests. Does it power on? And a 'Burn in' , or tested for 24-48 hrs under load, like a Quake3 loop. You can and should do this anyway on your own. Check the vender as to what the test guarantees, then decide.
