Why you can trust TechRadar
We liked
This is a nicely specified machine with some considerable grunt in the processor and graphics department. It's also a smart looking rig, with a tasty keyboard and mouse bundled.
We disliked
There are some niggles with the case and quality of the other peripherals provided, particularly the terrible speakers. The Game Changer is also a noisy beast, and it's disappointing that Mesh hasn't included some juicier overclocking options with this machine.
Final verdict
Of course, Mesh offers a wide range of systems. Its Elite Dominator Pro offers a very similar spec at the same price but is based on the Corsair Graphite 760T Gaming case, which we prefer the sound of, and suspect might help with the noise levels. So, we're not saying don't buy Mesh, but this particular configuration is strangely unsatisfying.

Technology and cars. Increasingly the twain shall meet. Which is handy, because Jeremy (Twitter) is addicted to both. Long-time tech journalist, former editor of iCar magazine and incumbent car guru for T3 magazine, Jeremy reckons in-car technology is about to go thermonuclear. No, not exploding cars. That would be silly. And dangerous. But rather an explosive period of unprecedented innovation. Enjoy the ride.
