Advantages: Fast and easy to use
Disadvantages: As with all computers - it's already outdated!

...Pentiums and opted for a Compaq Presario AMD Athlon (model number S5100) instead as I’d heard from numerous people that these were faster in general. It came with Windows XP installed on it (officially, and not from a copied source so my dad was happy!) It has funny numbers after its name, reading AMD Athlon XP 2400+. It comes with 256MB of RAM and 40GB hard drive. And, as if that’s not enough, it also comes with Integrated NVIDIA GeForce XM graphics ...
...last line, please feel free to explain in the Comments box because I know nothing about computer graphics!) So, barring the graphics that I’m afraid I know very little about, what does all that gobbledygook mean? In layman’s terms it means…. This PC is suitable for everyone really, from beginner to advanced user. It could cope with most things that any heavy user could throw at it so anyone but the most determined ... Read review

...VFM 40GB ATA-100 EIDE HDD MESH 3 YRS UK ONLY WARRANTY (1YR ON SITE+2YR RTB) £1,155.03 I didn’t understand a lot about computers, but all the reviews I read seemed good, so I thought I would give it a go, and I phoned them, I told the guy on the phone I wanted to buy a new computer, and waited for the usual sales pitch and advice, but all I got was….. ‘yes?’ I told him which one I was thinking about, and he replied …. ‘OK’ I asked him if it ...
...soft, so I phoned Mesh again. After 45 minutes of; “All our operators are busy. Your call is important to us, please hold” When they answered, I was very abruptly told, “This is a software issue, call our software help line. (Calls are charged at 50p per minute”) I told him, ”That it may be a soft ware issue, but it was one they created” I was told “if you don’t like it, phone customer services, and complain.” This I did. I was told to try reinstalling ... Read review

Advantages: Excellent Customer Support
Disadvantages: Slightly pricy but worth it

...brief history as to why Evesham are a Top Class Company (and, No, I don't work for them!) I first bought a PC in 1996 after studying the PC magazines for months. I chose a (then) Evesham Vale Platinum TX with a Pentiun 233MMX chip. I've had a few problems with it (the only hardware fault being a graphics card which was replaced without quibble). They have NEVER refused to help with technical queries or even with general questions about my PC. I ...
...bought a second PC from Evesham - an Origin PC with AMD Duron 650 processor. That has also worked faultlessly ever since. The only call I made to their technical department was a query I had about the motherboard and the maximum processor speed I could use on it(both were answered). I have been so happy with the PC (I work in the IT industry and have built my own PC's too) that whenever I know somebody is looking for a PC I refer them to Evesham. ... Read review

...I hear you ask? An HP 7946. Now as I am not really into detailing technical specifications (boooringggg!)! You can view all those here: http://www.hp-expo.com/uk/eng/products/homepc/7946.html?id=6996 (This isn't a cop out - Regular Ciaoers will already know what I'm like!!!) What I will tell you, is how this machine caters for my needs, how it runs, and what it does in everyday language! This computer is silver and black - the tower casing resembles ...
...This model of HP Computer comes with a super doopa keyboard which enables you to control volume, visuals, email and Internet with one touch buttons; no need to open stuff via the desktop here matey! A laser mouse comes as standard too - this kind of mouse is much more efficient and precise, but I have found that these mice work better WITHOUT a mousemat - perhaps this is just down to the fact that my kids cover my mousemat with gunk! A cool feature ... Read review

Advantages: Competitive prices, Good components & Stylish systems
Disadvantages: Their after sales support is SHIT

...your money and go elsewhere, mesh will rob you blind!! I bought a brand new gaming PC in august 2006. The sales rep I dealt with seemed very helpful and put together a very competitive deal. They even beat Dell's offer on the same spec system by adding 2 graphics cards for the price of one. When the PC arived two weeks later as promised I was very excited as this was my first PC. I must say my initial reaction was unreal as this PC looked awsome. ...
