Mesh into administration

They were reasonably highly rated about 10+ years ago. But iirc they quickly went down hill.

My Mesh PC from 2000 still works, I use it as a Linux plaything!

My first PC was a Mesh. Good machine.

My dad had bought a 486 DX33 from them and with time it was passed down to me. Managed to overclock it to 40MHz playing with the jumpers :cool:

My two strongest memories are playing Doom and being awed by the landscapes I could generate with VistaPro.

My dad still has a mesh system, arrived with 32 bit windows and 8gb RAM, and one 500gb hdd not working, it's also hot as hell. can't remember the model of C2 quad bit it idles at like 70

I bought a set up form them about 7 years ago and tbh it was well built and at a good price. The only problem i had was they kept changing the delivery dates, took around 3 weeks to get the system.

The thing was actually indestructible.

Dell pooped on them.

Overpriced crap tbh, you were paying a premium for a ***** looking case with their name on it, or pictures of cowprint on the box etc.

Parky · 1 Jun 2011 at 20:18

Can't say I'll miss them, though my dad has a couple Mesh computers for work, all of which are still going strong after years of abuse.

HAz · 1 Jun 2011 at 20:23

next on the list has to be e-machines, awful systems.

TINY pcs were ok, it was the Time pcs that were utter, utter garbage.

The components were terrible quality, especially the motherboards and their cooling setups. A mate of mine bought one back in 1998 I think, despite being told not to. Never worked properly from day one, despite several trips back to Time. We still tease him to this day. He was a Trekkie back then, obviously blind to Spock's sales pitch

The first pc I bought when I started working was an Evesham - my mum still has it and it still runs (it's over 10 years old).

I think those ones were Gateway.

I think it must have been the late 90s or early 00s and Mesh were the high end and well built machines. I remember having a few of them and everything about them said quality.

Id just assumed theyd faded into obscurity with the likes of Dell out pricing them. Shame to see them go but was probably a long time coming really

I'm still not googling it. Safe search doesn't always work.

Gateway 2000 IIRC!

My first PC was from ESCOM - the guys that bought the Amiga and opened shops in all the old Rumbellows stores.

I've repaired a few over the years and will agree that they chose parts well and the cases/psus were sturdy and of good quality/make etc..

This thing. 386 mega computer although ours came with a better moniter. Replaced my dad's Amstrad word processor (green VDU and OS on 5" floppy )from the 80's. Was quite good actually at the time that's when games really first started to appear.

Looks like you can put a CD-rom in it, you can't. Hard drive was tucked in behind there, only one IDE channel.

(ps, no you are absolutely right do not googleimage 'wang')
