			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Last December, we got together at Puget Systems and talked about our industry, how we see computers evolving, and how Puget Systems can continue to grow as a leader in our industry.  We mapped out an exciting long term plan, with some ambitious goals for 2011.  I am happy to announce today one piece of that plan &#8212; Puget Labs.  What is that all about?</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Over the last few years, Puget Systems has made a strong effort to get more involved with our local business community.  Keeping with this theme, we&#8217;re proud to announce our participation in the 2010 Greater Seattle Chamber of Commerce Trade Show.  We are both a sponsor of the event and a exhibitor.  For those of you in the Seattle area, we encourage you to stop by the show and say hello.  The show is May 12th and we&#8217;re in booth number 225.  Hope to see you there!</p>
<p>As a promotion for the show, the Chamber stopped by and made a quick video highlighting Puget.  Enjoy!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>The News:</h2>
<p>We are very pleased to announce that as of today: Monday, October 26, 2009, we are launching a brand new redesign of the <a href="http://www.pugetsystems.com">Puget Systems website</a>!</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve been hard at work over the past few months: designing, coding, testing, fixing. Although we&#8217;ve received lots of positive feedback on various functionality of the old site (configuration utility, order status updates, etc), we&#8217;ve also been less than pleased with the dated design and limited, navigational ability of the old design. What we&#8217;re unveiling today is the first step a vast improvement on top of what was already a great base.</p>
<h2>This is only the beginning&#8230;</h2>
<p>If you find any bugs, please let us know. Just as well, this new design is only the foundation. Over the next few months, you&#8217;ll see many more navigational changes, UI improvements, and minor tweaks here and there, which will further make the site easier to navigate, friendlier to use, and more powerfully able to serve you.  If you have any suggestions or would like to report on how the new design is working, please email us at: <a href="webmaster@pugetsystems.com">webmaster@pugetsystems.com</a> or try <a href="http://forums.pugetsystems.com/showthread.php?t=4617">posting in our forums</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You&#8217;ve probably seen that old clichéd scene a thousand times &#8211; some guy is putting the finishing touches on his house of cards or stack of dominoes, and then someone sneezes and ruins the whole thing. We have pretty much that same feeling we get when a brand new computer gets roughed up during shipment. Even though we <a href="http://www.pugetsystems.com/blog/2009/04/05/nvidia-gtx-295-bad-choice-for-liquid-cooling/" target="_blank">analyze hardware with specific concern for safe shipping</a>, <a href="http://www.pugetsystems.com/included.php?inc=checklist" target="_blank">test each component for proper installation</a>, and use <a href="http://www.pugetsystems.com/packing.php" target="_blank">specially designed packing materials</a>, sometimes we still see a damaged computer.<br/><a href="http://www.pugetsystems.com/blog/2009/05/19/dealing-with-shipping-damage/">Read the rest of this entry »</a></p>

While most of the reviews have been favorable, the comment fields have been their usual mix of reactions and name-calling. LOL! The extra attention has definitely been fun, although I think our web servers would disagree!!!</p>
<p>Anyways, since there wasn&#8217;t a lot of info in the reviews regarding the details of the system, I thought I would share just a few comments on the back story and a specs list for those interested.</p>
