I am bored with my current magazine subscriptions, and want a few suggestions for computer related magazines. So, suggest away! :D

If you want some free bathroom material there's always cheaperthandirt and cabellas and brigade quartermasters. Not computer related but free is good.

I like Make Magazine. It's sometimes computer related, but it always is modding related.

free is good. I will check those out. I just received a parts-express catalog in the mail today. excellent bathroom perusing. makes me wish I had more money though, I really wanna start building my own speakers. :)

EDIT: will have to check out Make magazine, seems pretty cool :) thanks!

I love both of those rags. Sometimes the articles seem repetitive, but not often. Given the choice I would get Max Cpu.

My other computer related favorites are Linux Pro and my Technet sub...

yeah if i was gonna get a subscription to one it would be maxpc i agree with air
Plus the cd that comes with it most of the time has some really stuff on sometimes not so much but most of the time its good stuff .
I get parts express thats where that heat shrink in mu mod came from

Another one that's good bathroom stuff is http://www.micromark.com/ they have some good stuff for modding and modelmaking in general.
Im big into model cars or was they have a lot stuff for that too .

Wired has good articles that are a little more mainstream but still geeky enough.

^Ooh, Mac Life

No CD's in MaxPC....

EDIT: Atomic Magazine from Australia is a real good one too.

Double Edit: Apparently Atomic Magazine is no more. Custom PC (http://www.amazon.com/Custom-PC/dp/B000AMXXF2/ref=pd_ts_mag_61?ie=UTF8&s=magazines) is still out there though
