View site by IP Address?

I have my domain name registered through GoDaddy and my website hosted at GoDaddy.

I'm building a new site and switching it to DreamHost.

Is there a way for me to view and test the new site that is on my DreamHost hosting account before I point the nameservers to DreamHost?

I'd like to be able to test the new site and make sure everything is running properly on DreamHost servers before I switch the nameservers to make the new site live.

sXi's link is a subsection on a handy page that gives several options for this situation.
