All-in-all, the Mesh 7EVEN Gaming PC is definitely an impressive system.
It is well-built, while the tempered glass case and braided cable extensions definitely look great. The rest of the specification is also well-balanced, with a i5-7600K and GTX 1060 well-complimented by a 250GB SSD and 16GB of fast DDR4 memory.
This level of hardware means the 7EVEN is a very capable gaming machine, too. All of our games played well at 1080p and 1440p resolutions – so if you are looking for a machine to play games at those resolutions, the 7EVEN is definitely worth thinking about.
There are just a few niggling issues with the system, though. One is that Mesh did not configured the motherboard LEDs to match the blue colour scheme – a minor issue, yes, but the red lighting clashed with the blue cable extensions.
Mesh did not configure the fan control, either, meaning the fans ran at 100% out-of-the-box. This is another easy fix, but for an inexperienced user, it could have left them stumped and a bit irritated with the fan noise. Even once the fans have been properly tweaked, the CPU still ran hotter than what I would have liked.
When it comes to pricing, though, Mesh offer the 7EVEN Gaming PC for £1349. I found this to be pretty cheap as I actually priced-up all the parts and came to a total of £1332. That means you are getting the system built, and supported with Mesh's warranty, for just £17 more than what you could do yourself – this is clearly a great deal.
Thus, I am happy to recommend the Mesh 7EVEN Gaming PC. It is not quite perfect, but it is a great-looking system that uses some premium components which can game comfortably.

KitGuru says: Despite a couple of minor issues holding it back from our top award, the Mesh 7EVEN Gaming PC is an excellent system. It delivers 1080p and 1440p gaming comfortably, while it also offers excellent value for money.
Dominic can I ask what’s with the fingerprints again? It’s a case with a glass window, did it arrive like that or is that from handling? It’s hugely obvious even on the main picture on the title page and if it arrived like that it’s a QA issue, I wouldn’t be very happy with it.
Secondly who the hell names a PC after Len Goodman’s Catchphrase from Strictly Come Dancing, every time you switch it on does it shout SEVEN!!!!!
It does use an i5.
lol I could edit my post but where’s the fun in that?. Everytime I See that I think 6700k. I was probably the only person in the world who cheered when AMD called it’s top GPU the Fury X, now that’s a real name, a name someone who is fond of the odd whisky or two can remember. With an entire Oxford English Dictionary of words I think we should lobby for real names then I can ask my Wife for the new Intel Xylophone for my birthday.
I believe it arrived like that although I could not be sure in the slightest
