    CPU, short for Computer Power User, is a magazine that was a competitor to Maximum PC. While I enjoyed it, I never thought it was quite as good as Maximum PC which probably explains why it isn’t around anymore. There’s barely enough room in the physical magazine world for one such title. The August 2008 issue includes:
