I did this comparison a few years back, but forgot to put a date on it. Regardless, it's a comparison of one of the cheap (under $5) Harbor Freight meters to an HP digital voltmeter. Except for resistances under a few tens of ohms, it did quite well. I don't have my HP meter calibrated, but it agrees with my Fluke differential meter within 10 ppm (and a precision HP power supply); both are awesome meters.
I believe SgtWookie said he did a similar comparison to a Fluke calibrator and got similar results.
The bottom line is that you simply don't have much of an excuse not to have a digital multimeter if you have access to a Harbor Freight store.
Note that CenTech is a Harbor Freight brand name.
