You need a screwdriver, to open the case. Read the sticker label on the power supply. It usually face outwards, a few downwards.

The Hard way:
Purchase an adjustable load bank, an Amp meter, a digital multimeter, and a Kill a Watt meter. Run a series of tests increasing the load, while measuring the voltage drop.
The Easy Way:
Look at the label, and multiply the power rating
by 3/5ths. The listed rating is peak power for less than about a minute, before the "Magic Smoke"TM escapes! 3/5ths of that will run for a year or until the warranty expires.
My Way:
Read the reviews in the annual magazines that have huge labs testing and reporting on 20 to 30 name brand units.
Compare those with AnandTech and Tomshardware on the Internet.
