Performance


The Mesh does fall behind in some areas. It's far louder, with the stock Intel cooler and considerable graphics card contributing to a definite hum that exceeds the noise produced by the Shuttle. The Silverstone chassis isn't nearly as stylish as the neat Shuttle and the monitor is undoubtedly a low light.
There's no getting away from the Mesh's undoubted advantages, though. It's faster in all of our benchmarks than its immediate rivals, and includes Blu-ray and a full range of peripherals for less cash. If you can put up with its quirks, and you can't accommodate a full-size ATX system, then the Mesh Stylus could be right up your street.
