kudos to mesh. Thats a big deal.

[w00t]

yeh right, they might be on the way up. i always used to like mesh for pricing, just not customer service

[kalniel]

Well I presume Comet would be handling the customer service, so it's good alround

very true are comet good in that department?

[eek]

From past experience they make Mesh look good so I doubt it.

Useful for friends wanting a decent system, but not wanting me to build them one.

Only problem I see is this:

Dedicated graphics 2 x 256MBGF7600


What?
Why SLI 2 7600s?
Why not just put in one 7900 (or 7950)? The price would be less, and performance better.

Bizarre...

[chuckskull]

Where'd that come from?

I'm pretty sure MESH offer dual 7950GX2 and other high end graphics.

Probably to flog the fact that double the graphics equals DOUBLE TEH POWAAAAH!1!1!!11one!exclamation!1 </sales crap>

Great news I think. I've never owned a Mesh, but, people I know have so I guess this makes it easier for me to persuade others to get them

Dunno then - my own experience with has been very positive actually - mostly the benefit of being able to physically take something back to the store.

my first pc was a MESH, and pretty damn decent for its day too a p120!!!

and i used to work for Comet as an instore multimedia consultant, back when they sold nothing but HP's and Fujitsu Siemens. I was in a branch recently and the choice was absolutely shocking, nothing with a dedicated graphics card at all, so hopefully this will make a nice change to their range and give my old colleagues something nice and shiny to drool over in store

finally a retail store with some decent pcs
