Mesh ships the chassis and peripherals in two separate boxes. The chassis and keyboard box is double layered to avoid damage in transit. There's also some foam packing inside the chassis itself to stop components moving about, which you have to remember to take out before powering up the system.

The secondary box contains the gaming goodies – mouse and headset – plus the motherboard extras, should you need them, and some documentation. There's a dainty little pouch with extra power connectors for the SuperFlower power supply, and a few more SATA cables.

The mouse and headset are nicely colour coordinated with the chassis (of which more shortly). The ROCCAT keyboard, mouse and headset are generally popular among gamers, although the build quality of the mouse has been questioned after extended usage, and there is a lack of bass response from the headset.

These are all premium peripherals worth in excess of £150 in total, so definitely a cut above a standard bundle. All you need to add to this system is a display and you will be ready to pose some serious “major league gaming” challenges to your friends and enemies alike.
