A shame that it is only available in the US and Canada.
After searching several pages of suppliers I could find none willing to ship to the UK.

I have a power supply in a machine that has been used regularly for a couple years. i was having some trouble, so i got a replacement mbd, and the problem didn’t go away. Regularly, but not always, i would access the CD/DVD Rom drive, and the computer would lock up. It would not restart again until I physically shut off the switch on the power supply…waited a few min… and turned it on again. with this tester, I get solid lights everywhere, including -5v, but the PG light flickers and I get the beeping from the tester. what does the PG light represent? I’m trying to eliminate the CD-DVD drive from being a possibility on the lockup.

The PG light is for testing the "Power Good" signal which is what the power supply sends to the motherboard to let it know things are working correctly. You can read more about what it does here. http://www.pcguide.com/ref/power/sup/funcPowerGood-c.html If the PG light is flickering and the tester is beeping, it would probably be safe to say that your power supply is bad.
