I used to read Custom PC a fair bit, mainly because I wanted a magazine but couldn't stand the crap like PC Gamer and PC Zone.
It's not too bad, however they do seem to baulk the magazine out with reviews of the same graphics card, only from a different manufacturer.

I subscribe to the magazine and I think it is pretty good. I am not a fan of sitting in front of the PC and reading loads of text on the Internet unless I need to know something right away.
An actual magazine is easier to read and can be enjoyed from the comfort of my own bed
One thing that does annoy me about the mag is they tend to favour manufacturers who are paying them lots of money to advertise and seem to dismiss some quality hardware at times.
This month they did a PSU labs test. They used a testing facility at Enermax HQ. Just so happens that the three Enermax PSUs tested all got Custom PC Approved awards. It could well be they were genuinely the best, but it seems rather iffy to me.
