Since Intel launched its new Kaby Lake CPUs last month, we have seen a lot of system builders ship out gaming PCs sporting those processors. Mesh are no different, as their 7EVEN Gaming PC comes with an i5-7600K as well as a GTX 1060 to provide the necessary grunt for gaming. With a focus on the system's aesthetics as well, could this be a winner in the sub-£1500 sector?
The Mesh 7EVEN Gaming PC is admittedly a great-looking system. That being said, we still need to take a closer look to assess things like the build quality, cable management, and – of course – gaming performance. Read on for our full analysis and final verdict.

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
