Stupid or Plausible idea?

[King Damager]

Ok, just want to check if anyone thinks they'd be any problems with this....

Basically just bought a PSU off of the MM for a future build, which I'm sure works fine, when it arrives though I just want to double check it myself in my current pc, just to check it had no issues in the post, also to see whether it's the PSU that's destroying this PC xD

(Being paranoid I know)

As such, is there an issue with just leaving it outside the case unplugging the current PSU from the various things it's plugged into and just plugging everything into the new PSU. Or should I really stick the PSU in the case to test just for grounding etc.....

Not a stupid idea

I and several others sometimes build rigs/install new/old components OUTSIDE the case, then move them in - to see if everything works properly
