The first thing we noticed about the Mesh Elite Ice 7 Core i7 920 PC was the incredibly heavy mass of power cables that had pulled itself free during transit – an odd design choice to be sure.
However, Mesh has done a good job with component selection – there are plenty of big names on display. The Asus P6T SE motherboard boasts good features, and the HIS HD 4850 graphics card is a capable partner to the 22in Iiyama ProLite screen, although the 1,920 x 1,080 resolution will push its limits.
The 500GB Samsung hard drive may be small by modern standards, but there's still plenty of room – and there's space for more hard drives, too. Given the component selection, we were surprised to find the Elite Ice 7 sluggish in use (it performed admirably in the benchmarks).
Mesh is keen to push Windows 7, even offering a £5 rebate if you select Microsoft's new OS when you buy the machine, so maybe it's giving Vista an early bath.

1. Mesh computers have the worst customer support I've ever seen from any company. In my experience, if you've got a problem with the computer they've supplied you... don't bother trying to get them to fix it - you're wasting your time.
