Are there any magazines out there that specifically address the (small) market of people who build their own PC clones from "boxes 'n boards"? -- /***************************************************************************\ / Phil Howard -- KA9WGN -- phil@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu | Guns don't aim guns at \ \ Lietuva laisva -- Brivu Latviju -- Eesti vabaks | people; CRIMINALS do!! / \***************************************************************************/

Tons of ads, and even sometimes an interesting article. Even had a few articles on buying Mac boards and PC boxes and building Mac "clones". I think the market isn't "small", but is rather large, judging by the number of advertizers, most offering complete systems, bare-bones systems, and mother boards, and various cards for doing whatever you want with.

I'm looking for something more specifically targeting the builder market rather than one that markets everything. I read Computer Shopper and probably will continue to because it is good. But I am still looking for something "else". Something dedicated enough to builders so that the articles are all oriented to builders and the more technically inclined, from those not afraid to open their PC, to those that will get out the soldering iron and make changes, and possibly those that will even design and build their own boards for some things. -- /***************************************************************************\ / Phil Howard -- KA9WGN -- phil@ux1.cso.uiuc.edu | Guns don't aim guns at \ \ Lietuva laisva -- Brivu Latviju -- Eesti vabaks | people; CRIMINALS do!! / \***************************************************************************/
