Quote: I went through the typical buying process; pre-purchase conference, email notifications regarding the system's progress through manufacturing and testing, with thermal photographs showing the system's heat characteristics. The system included final test results with the tester's name so I'd know who to call if something went wrong (nothing did). It was a fun process, and the computer proved to be a real workhorse.

Quote: On the outside, it's a classy, if nondescript Antec case. Inside, however, it's calmed with acoustic foam panels, dampered screws and other vibration-reducing handiwork. And while Puget's online configurator lets you change most components, it defaults to selections tested for quiet operation. The result is a pleasing murmur, if not complete silence...

Quote: If your need is speed, then the Puget Deluge Mini may be your choice. Over (Über?)-clocked Core i7 processor, dual graphics cards, and a speedy hard drive give you blazing benchmark speeds. An over-the-top, geeky buying experience is another plus.

Quote: Lots of folks have been asking about Nvidia's Ion, essentially a GPU for the Intel's low power Atom CPU. The folks over at Puget Systems were kind enough to loan us one of their Echo I HTPC boxes with a Blu-ray drive inside… watch the video to find out it did with 1080p video!

Quote: Looking for the fastest workstation in the world? The safe bet is to go with an established manufacturer, taking advantage of seasoned design teams, combined experience of thousands of customers, and the serious buying power of a gigantic multinational corporation. Or, you could find a smaller boutique shop like Puget Systems, which will give you a world-class custom workstation such as its Genesis II, accompanied by personal service and hand-picked components, that might result in surprising performance.

Quote: Having a PC in your home theater gives you terrific advantages, particularly when there's a Blu-ray player inside. The Puget Systems Echo 1 shows that a fast PC in your home theater doesn't have to be noisy, bulky or expensive.

Quote: Moving between applications was speedy and my encoding from Premiere Pro was extremely fast...The Genesis Liquid Cooling system was extremely quiet. This was a major improvement over my last PC, and it was even quieter than my MacPro...Puget Systems' Genesis performed like the winner it is. Steady, fast and reliable.

Quote: Puget Systems submitted the most unique system of the bunch, the Genesis II. The version we tested is built around Intel’s S5520SC Shady Cove motherboard and a pair of 3.33GHz quad-core Intel Xeon W5590 processors, capable of processing a stunning 16 threads at once. As you’d expect, the Genesis II owned almost every test that favors the CPU, getting downright biblical on Cinebench R10.

Quote: I was amazed by this! This thing has tremendous power. It can play back 1080p files, perfectly. It can decompress .rar files quickly. I thought this was going to take forever. Flawless playback. Firefox 3.5 runs perfectly, quickly, beautifully. 7.1 surround, HDMI in the back runs perfect.

Quote: Its latest product is the Puget Mini. It is like a small, dangerous sports car. Lavish customer service surrounds assembly and delivery. They overclock, benchmark and burn in it. Performance is stellar.

Quote: Very tidy build, without a rat's nest of cables. Quality hardware components. Lots of handy benchmark logs and data included (useful if you know what it all means). Case-lighting-lumens are directly proportional to awesomeness.

Quote: So what does this all mean? It means that the Deluge is a kickass gaming system. It scored 73 frames per second on Crysis, a notoriously hard gaming test. 73fps means that the visuals will be smooth and stutter-free. The Deluge also scored 73 frames per second on the World of Conflict gaming test. These are pretty decent scores. The system also aced our multimedia tests.

Puget Systems is featured on the cover of CRN Custom Systems magazine!
Quote: Jon Bach, who founded Puget Systems, based in Kent, Wash., said customer service and support is tied to the company's dedication to small-business values. "One of our core commitments is service level," he said. "Service is the way you get that across to the end user." In a highly discerning and highly competitive space, offering a unique customer experience can be an important advantage. "We work really hard not to be your typical salesperson—we're advocates for the customer," he said. "We listen to the requirements of the user, and try to figure out how gaming fits into his life, and really try to come up with a tailored system for them."

Quote: Users who want loads of expansion room, along with great performance and overclocking features, will love Puget System's Gaming Computer, despite its daunting price tag of $5765 (as of January 3, 2008). The PGC comes with Intel's latest Extreme processor (the 45nm 3-GHz QX9650) and two sticks of 1066-MHz DDR3 RAM totaling 2GB. Strapped to the CPU is a Puget Hydro CL1 liquid cooler, whose radiator connects to a large exhaust fan situated where a power supply would normally be. The power supply occupies the lower back of the case, a unique arrangement that contributes to one of the neatest interiors we've ever seen.

Quote: Puget has come up with the perfect intermediate watercooling system. This system is for people that want to do watercooling, but don't want to hassle with installing the components themselves. Overall I really could not find a single problem with this case. ThinkComputers gives the Puget Systems Liquid Cooled Gaming Case a 10 out of 10 score!

30 Days with Linux
|
Quote: This system was graciously provided by Puget Custom Computers and represents a solid mid-range machine that should be able to run Vista, should the owner decide to upgrade. As an aside, Puget is one of the few OEM system vendors out there that is willing to ship a computer with Linux pre-installed.

Quote: Puget Systems takes the opposite approach, focusing on exceptional customer service and providing only the highest quality components. If you want a high-performance computer and you need advice on the subject, Puget Systems looks like a very good choice, and they are more than willing to discuss your particular needs with you at length to make sure that you get the exact system you want/need.

Quote: At HardwareLogic, we'll always advocate building your own system whenever possible, but when that's not an option, we would absolutely recommend browsing Puget's website. While many OEMs focus either on rock bottom prices at the expense of quality control and customer service, or high end systems with extravagant price tags worthy of a second mortage, Puget Custom Computers will give you the best of both worlds.

For Specialized Users, a PC Concierge to Meet Your Needs November 1, 2006 |
Tim Gnatek at the NY Times portrays the benefits of having a computer custom built, using a Puget Custom Computers client as an example.
Quote: Though he chose a custom builder for better parts, fewer functions and accordingly lower prices, Mr. Harris found a third benefit when his sales agent asked what he had been using the PC for, and then suggested that he downgrade.
