This is a great source for keeping up with the latest hardware. Each month they pick a different theme (gaming, networking, multimedia, etc...) and assemble a computer based on that theme. It gave me the courage to try it myself, and I'm very happy with the results. They also have hardware reviews.

Some of the other hardware magazines focus mostly on gaming performance, but this one has a good mix. When I began installing my Intel motherboard, I found an article explaining the correct pinouts in one issue. That helped a lot.

This magazine is great overall. It has a lot of information for both the novice and expert computer-types. I personally know a lot about computers and I still learn things every time I pick up this magazine. I can't say enough about how happy I am with it.
