MESH Computers - to buy or not to buy?

Of course you're entitled to your own opinion - I happen to disagree. I have a laptop on order from them, and decided upon them after reading online reviews at places like TrustPilot.

To be perfectly honest, the deals do not seem that great. Their barebones PCs start at around £350, and for that money you should be able to pick up a complete package from a reputable manufacturer - Acer, HP, which would include monitor, keyboard and speakers, as well as having a warranty and access to support.

I agree with Andy - For my £400 or thereabouts expenditure in the summer of 2011:

• Optiplex 580 base unit from Dell Outlet (via a link on their main page) http://www.dell.com/uk/dfh/p?s=dfh - This wasn't marked cosmetically and came with a 3 year on-site warranty. Came with Keyboard and Mouse, 2GB Memory, 250GB Hard Drive and Windows 7 Professional. The price on the 'normal' Dell webpage was almost double.
• Extra 4GB Memory from eBay (HP Branded)
• Dell 21" monitor - New and Boxed from eBay http://stores.ebay.co.uk/BenthamLtd
• Dell Speakers plus Subwoofer - Perfect and paid £6 from eBay (Private seller - had to collect).
• Full copy of Microsoft Office 2010 Professional plus from www.software4students.co.uk (OH doing a course at the local college so qualified).

Somebody will no doubt tell me I could have done better but I'm happy and the computer is working a treat.

Are you on some sort of wind up or do you actually work for them

I was prepared to consider your argument until you made that comment. :T
