    Hey, yes I know this might be a little OT.

    Have anybody of you heard about CPU Mag?

    I got an offer from a writer there about getting my Black Pearl Mod on their front page of their Mag.

    Do you think the offer is polite? [If the editors select my mod some money are also involved]

    I'm think it looks polite, but I'm not shure since I don't have heard about CPU Mag before.

    Back when i was really into my first mod, i got a few of these mags. They are very nice, and i still like cpu as a magazine compared to all the magazines that i get. They are really easy to get in the US, and u can find them at in the magazine section at most major bookstores, at least where i live. So yes, i would be very happy if i made a modded computer that got into there, because it is a magazine that is very nice, and in good circulation at least in the denver, colorado area, although i assume it is in most other major cities.

    I won with Lupine. CPU is a reputable enthusiast magazine in the States. If you have been approached, you would get a full cover, and a 2 page spread.

    It is fun experience.
    Go for it!

    CPU magazine is one of the best computer magazines i read, and one of the most well written. I would defeinitly say to let them publish your mod, i know i saw Navig's tower on there a while back.

    To clarify things, is CPU offering the cover as in they're asking you permission to put it in or are they offering to consider your case for the cover?
