I have to say that the ComputerActive one is better.
I was always really put off by that PC Pro cover because the connections on it are entirely random and illogical.
One has 15 lines, the other 5, but both have 9 pins on the connector.

I agree with Yaytay, the PC Pro cover is nonsensical – where are the 6 additional lines going on the connector on the right? and there’s something fishy going on with the connector on the left too. If you want to call yourself a professional PC mag – PLEASE get the basics right first.
And is that your second *news* story this month trying to sell the latest issue? Things must be getting desperate.
