Another question for the hardware gurus...

Does anyone know how critical the 12V value is that
is supplied by the power supply for a hard drive?  I
just bought a power supply (and case) and measured
5 volts for the +-5 lines, and only 10.6 volts for
the supposed +-12 lines.  Is this standard?  Acceptable?
Should I try to return this to the store?

Thanks for your help.

General interest: this power supply is part of a baby tower
case (Manufacturer=Achieve) with 4 bays, 8 slots, and
can supply 230W (supposedly, haven't tested this) and
12V (not true according to a voltimeter anyhow).  Cost
was $43 before tax.  A typical price in San Diego.
Color is NOT black :-(.
