Hello everyone and welcome to a bit of a bumper special Budget Builds Episode...In the longest video I have made to date! For the longest time I have been trying to get a hold of a Mesh Gaming PC, who knows why I remember seeing them in Magazines all the time...But this time ive managed to snag one that used to sell for just north of £700 for a measly £15 off ebay. But the real question today is just how viable of a solution is this today...So join me for a real deep dive into this strange custom PC, as we throw it up against the world of Modern Gaming across Windows 10, Linux, and even cover some absolutely ridiculous tests to make sure we really get the most out of the PC!
0:00 - What did I buy?
1:06 - Unboxing the Mesh PC
3:28 - Did it survive shipping? & Specs?
5:21 - Forbidden Screw Finding Technique
5:58 - Installing Windows & First Test
9:05 - Cloudgate Stress Test Time
10:03 - Right we need to take this apart
12:28 - The search for working RAM
13:42 - Tweaks
15:30 - Its working a tad better now!
16:05 - What are the full specs?
17:31 - Just WHAT is a Mesh PC!
18:52 - How much did we improve the PC?
20:46 - Ready to benchmark?
22:04 - The Benchmarks
33:32 - Performance, API Issues, VRAM Woes
35:11 - Maybe we shouldn’t use Windows 10?
36:31 - I Installed CatchyOS & Thoughts
39:59 - Gaming Proof of Concept
42:08 - Some Linux Gaming Tests
50:18 - Well that was questionable...
51:59 - I lose all sense of sanity and ask an important question
55:23 - Why does he have an XP Gaming Laptop all of a sudden
56:02 - It now runs Windows 7?
56:58 - No it now runs Windows 2000
58:01 - Why oh why is the Longhorn install screen there??
59:08 - Now this makes more sense 59:08
1:01:01 - GT210? Windows XP? Idek anymore
1:05:45 - What did I just watch? Is there a conclusion? Who knows
