Mesh Matrix Custom, AMD Phenom Quad Core 955 64 Bit Win7

Supplied with Vista, upgrade to Win7 trouble free. No problems after a years operation. Sales very keen and helpful. Good price for equipment, I would use Mesh again.

I ordered my MESH Matrix with custom parts a while ago now - as a gaming machine.

First impressions were very good - 20.1'' monitor (the biggest available at the time) and the tower itself was a decent size to allow for good ventilation and cooling.

It took a while to get Windows XP validated, but once this was complete, a wave of unrestricted freedom washed over me. This was down to the graphics card - a Radeon X800 XT Platinum Edition - top notch for 2004.

With powerful components such as above, I could potentially play any game I wanted to at full - shading, lighting, etc all at full - with no loss in frame rate or performance.

As I understand it, MESH computers come default with ATI processors - I have found these to be far better than Intel.

Three years on, and since I purchased my MESH I've been forced to reformat the whole system 6 or 7 times, for various reasons. This is an extremely painful and slow process and does let the side down a lot.

Despite this major set back, customising a MESH Matrix computer is a very wise move.

If you decide to go ahead and customise one for yourself, then I wish you luck with the whole reformatting business.
