Dennis Publishing this week launched computing title Custom PC.
The monthly is aimed at men aged 18 to 35 and is backed by a seven-figure sum. According to Dennis, there is a growing number of PC enthusiasts with a passion for performance hardware and customisation, who are being ignored by the magazines currently available.
Publisher Pete Wootton said the response to the launch so far had been positive, with advertising revenue up 42 per cent on pre-launch expectations and 2,000 subscribers on board before the first issue had even reached the news-stand.
