Mesh into administration

They did the same trick with Evesham. Strip the assets and run.

Good thing Mesh have gone, they have been passed around and restructured enough.

I had a mesh about 7 years ago (and an Evesham before that). The actual PC components were pretty good stuff, Asus motherboards, Leadtek graphics cards, but the support was hilariously bad.

Got the first PC I personally owed from mesh. 486 DX2 2MB. It was awesome.

Mesh were quite possible one of the cackest "bespoke" PC builders of the last decade. Good ridance IMO

What he said.

I'm more amazed to discover they were actually still trading.

Anyone remember HighScreen PC's? I had an 486 one. Loved it.

I rememeber back in the 2001/02 era Mesh were usually king of the PC Pro tests. Crazy money for the top PCs back then AMD 2200+ systems @ ~ £2k.

Ah the good old days

Anyone remember TINY and Time pc's? whatever happened to them **** company's?

Both went bust....i worked for Time PC's a long time ago as one of their store then area managers and they ended up buying out Tiny...i left soon after and last thing i heard they went bust...probably because their pcs were utter rubbish and their warranties were even worse....didnt stop me from selling shedloads of them

One thing I love doing is reading old 80s and 90s copies of PCW magazine. Great nostalgia trip.

I remember them being as thick as the phone book due to all the adverts in them!

I've owned 3 bespoke PC's in the 90's (Time/Evesham & a Romford based Retailer that sold on the Auction site) I learned a fair bit about building PC's by upgrading these PC's & a failed attempt by my former employer to sell PC's in 1998. I've been building my own since 2003.

My first PC was a DAN as well....a 486 DX 33 i think. I splashed out and got a DX over an SX. I loved it, although I could do without all the DOS memory management trying to get games to work!
