Which magazines do you read?

For those of you who have built and/or modded PCs, I'd be interested to know which magazines you read that are related to these areas?

I read SourceMagazine.

That and Outdoor Life.......

MaximumPC--always. Just can't beat it for articles and good, honest, no BS reviews of hardware/software. (I've even seen them slam stuff their own advertisers have put out). (Most of the other major PC mags seem to just paraphrase the manufacturers' info sheets rather than give an honest review. Ends up just being an ad).
Even MaximumPC's Letters to the Editor make for excellent reading and good learning. A bit expensive, but usually comes with a CD loaded with pretty decent freeware/shareware utilities and game demos; along with (every couple of months) the latest full versions of IE and Netscape.

Whoa! Am I spamming?

Sorry..I'm just totally sold on this mag.

I second Bistro's MaximumPC choice. Stay away from PC Magazine...it used to be good, but is no more than an E-business and communications rag now. They should change their name since the rarely talk about PCs. Just my opinion.

Didn't MaximumPC used to have the tag-line "MaximumPC - MinimumB.S."?
