Best multimeter for the money?

[Troubadour]

What's the best multimeter I can buy for under $30 for doing computer repair?

- I want a digital display

I got mine at radio shack. Works fine. Digital display.

I just bought one there today and returned it LOL...
I got this one: http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...ductId=4214667

.... I hated that the multimeter itself was screwed to a case

I use this one, it is excellent.

What do you think of this one?

It looks like the AC is at the upper right (shows a ~ wavy symbol)
and DC must be at the lower right (shows a straight line ---)
Am I right ?

Here's another one that was recommended:

This is what I am currently using, It's a bit on the pricey side but I love it. http://us.fluke.com/Fluke/usen/Digit....htm?PID=55994

I've got a Fluke and I've had it at least 15 yrs

A cheap one will be just fine though.

Got to agree, fluke is good

I bought a Cen-Tech P30756 in some special sale for about $10 and it has been great. It is about 1/3 the size and 1/5 the weight of my Fluke but works jsut as good. It cannot measure frequency, inductive current, and a few other things that the Fluke can do but I never need that anyway.

Here is the replacement model for $9.95

From the referenced link:

"It features an easy to read 3.5 digit LCD display."

I wonder which half of the fourth digit it displays.
