Just a question though, what do you want the PC for/to do? Someone might be able to suggest a better alternative or something more suitable.

Its for work mostly. Although I use graphic packages its not for the kids gaming. I try to keep them away from our pc with that!

Hi cindy! If you do go ahead and order the Mesh, I would be really interested to hear how you get on with it - ease of set-up, any probs, how quickly it is delivered,etc - if you don't mind, as I'm considering one too - it is soo hard to decide when you don't know much about computers and they sound similar specs on paper!

Ok, I was a little worried about the on-board video of both machines and compatability with latest games, but thats not an issue.

Either looks fine to me for office/browsing/digital imaging.

can i throw a spanner in the works and ask you to look at this one on ebay for me and compare it with the Mesh one?
Thanks!

Just tried the Dell configurator, it gave out a price of £877 for that kit... maybe it can't add up..

As much as I dislike Dell PCs I do prefer Intel based PCs over AMD.
