Micro Computer Mart

The main thing in this magazine is that if you’re a home PC builder like me and want to save money, you should buy this magazine. The micro mark has every little bit of information that you need. On a weekly basis the magazine comes out and at a cost of travel fair you can found out what happening in the I.T world. This magazine contains a lot of information like what the latest graphic card and offers a review as well (recommend or not). Not only on graphic card but also on other new product example PDA, Monitor, Memory, latest processors and all types of inputs. They’re also a section for game review, which give you a great idea ...  Read the complete review

Forgive me if this is a rather short review, but this magazine is pretty one-dimensional, so there's not really that much to say on the subject. Microcomputer Mart is one of two(that I know of) widely available magzines whose sole aim is to bring you, the consumer, computer goods at bargain prices. There are basically two ways that it does this. Firstly, there are a number of companies who advertise in here, promising to bring you top quality components, peripherals and complete systems at trade prices and secondly through private advertisements of second-hand goods. ~Advertisers~ The majority of this magazine is made up of advertisers ...  Read the complete review

I started buying Micro Mart last year, not because of wanting to buy computer parts, but for news and reviews. I wasn't too impressed - the only regular reviews are of shareware and games, and the news section is sometimes a bit slow to catch onto a story. It was also a bit pricey just for this : £0.80 (at the time) per week worked out at £3.60 a week, and for £2.95 I could get tonnes more news and reviews, as well as all the mainstream advertisers. Even with a cover CD! But this year, I decided to upgrade my old 386, and mainstream adverts seemed too pricey. I took up MCM again (now at £1.10 pw), and this time looking through the private and trade ...  Read the complete review

Micro Computer Mart is a great little magazine to look for that cheap little system you need to do some work on, or thoses few parts you needed to find in order to get your system up and running. You will find absolutly anything you want for comoputers in there. There are news and reviews aswell to keep you up with some of the latest computer goss. I have managed to sell a couple of old computers through Micro Computer Mart quite easilly and its amazing where you can reach, with a simple £10 P+P you can send an entire system over to Ireland, I have had no bad experience's with Traders in Micro Mart and beleive that I never will. You will also find ...  Read the complete review

This is a really good magazine. It consists of mainly adverts with a fair few artcles in testing recently released products. The good thing about this from the point of view as a trader is that I can see what other traders are charging. You can almost guarantee that whatever your looking for will be cheaper off a retailer in Micro Computer Mart than in any other magazine or publication. You don't see the Times and Tinys and PCWorlds advertising in this magazine. It is mainly made up of small and medium sized businesses and trust me theres one or 2 firms in there that are scandalously cheap. You shouldn't let the cheapness cause you any concern. ...  Read the complete review
