Well.. I must say, not really worth going to huge lengths to find it. It's basically a condensed (and slightly simplified) version of the past months online reviews. It's just nice to have something to read while you're taking a shit (unless you have a wi-fi tablet pc :D :D)

If they have it in the station, pick up a copy. It passes the time, and it's certainly not a BAD magazine.

Bit too glossy for that, imagine the mess. Try MicroMart, it's cheaper too!

i used too, now it's just an extra £1.50 i can't afford. Whats more, i find micro mart to be little more than a directory for component and system retailers, the articles are poo!


(especially after i'm finished with 'em)

We've got a mag very similair to this in America called PC Enthusiast. It's mostly a rag filled with recent and current reviews from contributors from such online sites as Motherboards.org, and The Tech Zone. They do tend to review at least one cooling product, motherboard and, a few games per issue with an article on technology as a feature. It's nothing worth noting cause it's mostly a rehash of what's online. At only $12 for a year, it's not bad at all, esp when you're comp is offline and you need a tech fix.

@FiveCheebs is that sig line form The Wall?

mmmmm (http://www.enjouchocolat.com/Merchant2/graphics/00000001/oreo.jpg) Well done doc'

:) Only thing is, I HATE Oreos. They make me feel like - - >:wacko:

Now, guess where I got my name from. :huh:

The only other mags I really read are PC Gamer and uh, well, that's it. I hate how "hardware Dumb" they are though. They tend to have lots of pretty pictures and since I don't have a computer in zee bathroom, it works.

I read Reptiles mag, but that's not computer related so it doesn't count ^_^

today i was at the main station and looked for custom pc but they didn't have it :mellow: they got over 200 porno mags from different countries but no foreign computer mags. (no, i didn't mistake the sexshop for the bookstore^_^)

lol - I suppose if you really wanted it you might be able to get it delivered with a subscription but I wouldn't say it's worth it!

Hmm, it's just that i'm looking for a mag which is a bit into modding. here in Germany we got a mag called "PC Games Hardware" where they got a modder of the month section but that's ridiculous. 2 pics and specs, that's it :angry:

i don't know if i actually need this, but as mrplow already said, it's nice having a mag while you're taking a shit :lol:
