looking at a new system to finally replace my existing one, built all my pc's over the years and finally fed up of the rip off prices for postage to N.Ireland (£25 p+p for a graphics card for example)

read good things about some of the Mesh systems but they seem to have a bad track record being on Watchdog etc, anyone any experience of them, or advise a good alternative, £600 would be the max for a good allrounder, bit of games (Half Life 2 at the minute), Solidworks and getting into a bit of crap video editing.

I had a MESH system years back, no problems.  Great PC.

But just build your own, dead easy, great fun and saves dosh.

Is this compatible but cheaper?

Seems it to me bar the software (who needs that anyway?) but i'm well out of the loop in pc specs.

I bought 24 Mesh bare bones PC's to build a parallel cluster 3 years ago. They're on 24-7 and I've only had 4 go wrong in that time - and those have only been chip fan failures (easily fixed) - which is not surprising given the time they are on etc...
Havnt a clue about their tech support etc.. but I've been perfectly happy with them,

If you were thinking about getting a laptop games machine, check this one out. It's a lot of machine for the money.
