The internals of the MESH Elite G4 GTX 760 SLi are quite neat and tidy although we have seen better cabling routing.

 

While we could say that the tension in the graphics card power cables was a little tight, it would be easy to adjust. Future upgrades – given the set up of the modular power supply would be a breeze.

We would recommend that Mesh start to adopt better known power supply brands such as Corsair or Seasonic in future, even with a slight price premium. The enthusiast audience are very critical of this.

 

The inclusion of the awesome Corsair H100 Extreme Performance Liquid Cooler for the Core i7 3770k processor is a cracking choice. In our extensive component review, our only negatives were (a) is your chassis man enough to cope with its radiator and (b) can your wallet cope with the cost.

Data storage is well taken care of with a 120GB Samsung 840 SSD for the operating system and applications – alongside a 2TB Barracuda data drive. Personally, we'd like to see a second 2TB drive so we could configure an additional backup for maximum security – but adding a NAS to your home network would help you achieve the same result, so this is not a major gripe.

Any system armed with 8GB of Ballistix 1600MHz memory is unlikely to suffer any kind of significant bottleneck unless you're planning on driving a program like AfterEffects to the max. With the way that memory prices are at the time of going to press, if you were interested in a little more performance here, you could always ask about a low cost upgrade to something like a 16gb kit of 2,133MHz modules.

The whole system is built around the MSI Z77A-GD55 mainboard with Crossfire and SLi support.
