Do any of you know of a good american magazine dealing of computers and more specifically harware (but that also treats software, but mostly hardware)? Is PC mag (www.pcmag.com) good?

After some surfing, I decided to subscribe to CPU (www.computerpoweruser.com) for 69$. It is of course more expensive than a US subscriber, because they have to ship me the magazine. I also have full access to their website and can read articles, reviews etc... Can't wait to receive the first magazine in print! BTW, you can, for xxx$, have access to the site for 17$, wherever in the world you are... You get as much info as you have in the magazine, except, I hate reading long articles on a screen

At one time i would have reccomended them handsdown but not anymore:
- Too many editorial flaws (see Dec2004 for a crapload)
- They dont know how to review power supplies (to give the PC Power & Cooling 510 a 9/10 is a crime and to give the OCz Powestream 520 a 7/10 is also a crime)
- They also dont know how to review videocards (i.e., X850XT PE by no means is an 8/10)
- Too much emphasis on silence, modular, toolfree, lights, and buzzards (especially dual12V, APFC, heatpipe etc)
.... sigh...

I've heard the magazines "Penthouse Fourm" "Playboy" and "Hustler" have some very useful information and detailed photos in them
