Whether your office is looking for a reliable system for basic internet and email needs, or you are doing advanced CPU intensive calculations, Puget Custom Computers has you covered.
Our Professional Workstation line is designed to represent all ends of the performance spectrum when it comes to business machines. Look to our Puget Obsidian Workstation for basic office use. It is well suited for email, internet use, and even basic media editing. If noise is an issue, check our our Serenity Silent Workstation. No one wants an office system that sounds like an airplane taking off. This system is so quiet, you might not even know it is on! For those in need of the very best, the Genesis closed loop Liquid Cooled Workstation will give you top of the line performance.
As with all of our systems, if you don't see an option you are looking for with one of our pre-configured systems, be sure to look at our fully custom line. Also, feel free to give one of our customer service representatives a call at 1-888-784-3872. We are always willing to help you pick out the right parts for the right price!
Photo/video editing is one of the most demanding tasks for modern computer systems. Whether you're compiling your home videos, creating professional short films or editing high quality photos, it's important to consider specialized hardware when customizing your computer.
The process of editing media is a very CPU intensive one. Billions of calculations go into modifying even the most basic video clips. For this reason, nearly every digital video editing computer software package available recommends Dual Processors or Quad Core CPU's.
We've found that the newer Quad Core CPU's enjoy a fair advantage in a few categories. Dual Processor systems tend to be very noisy, and don't have a very wide selection of motherboards. The Quad Core Systems are much cooler and quieter, and enjoy a widely supported array of motherboards to choose from. We even have a hardware article on the performance differences!
It's also important to have a hearty amount of RAM in your photo/video editing computer. Depending on the size of the files you're working with, you might even end up using whatever the maximum limits of your motherboard allows. Hard Drive selection often comes down to a blend of speed and size, with many users selecting an ultra-fast hard drive for their OS and current working files, and a larger, slower drive for mass data storage.
Finally, many photo/video editors use multiple monitor displays to expand their desktop space. For this, you'll want a Dual, Triple, or Quad Head video card. There are 2 types of popular monitor connections: DVI (an digital signal, found on most all LCD monitors), and Display Port (a digital signal used for modern LCD's). Since you can convert the DVI signal to Display Port with a cheap adapter, it's often wise to look for a Dual DVI video card.
If you need firewire support, be sure to check and see if your motherboard includes it. If not, please feel free to email your customer rep, and ask them to add it for you.
Benefits of Puget Professional Workstations
| Highly Reliable Product Line All components in our product line are reviewed weekly. Any trends in failure rates are acted upon immediately, leaving us with a highly reliable product line that continues to improve. We do not add a part to our product line unless we feel we can stand behind it. This results in a high quality product, that works as it should. You can feel confident that any selection you make on our website is a quality product. |
| Fast Build Times By keeping inventory of our most popular parts, and maintaining a short supply line to parts we need, we are able to offer an industry leading ship time of 3-7 business days on nearly all our system orders. |
| We're Here, Give Us a Call! We make sure our representatives are as accessible as possible, by phone and email. At Puget, you can actually talk to a real person! We understand that personal service must be a priority for small businesses on the web. We are happy to provide as much help as you need, with no obligation to order. We understand that the best way to have satisfied customers is to help them make informed decisions before they buy! |
| Lifetime Support/Labor Warranty When you buy a custom pc from Puget, we are here to help you for life. Even when your parts warranty expires, we are happy to continue to answer your questions and even fix your computer with no labor costs. |
| Completely clean OS installation (no added software) No one appreciates a computer preloaded with trial software, advertisements, and promotional offerings. Not only is it annoying, but it can even slow down your computer! Our competitors do this for the supplemental income, but Puget refuses to offer anything except a clean install. |
| Latest drivers, patches and service packs applied For best security and performance, it is important that each computer ships with the newest software and drivers available. We give personal attention to each computer before it ships, making sure it is updated. |
| Meticulous assembly and cable routing standards Assembly techniques, especially cable routing, is an art. Our experienced system builders give great effort to assembling your system with care. We want you to be very happy with what you see if you open the side of your case. Check out our featured systems to see examples of our work! |
| Innovative Thermal Imaging Our thermal imaging process allows us to identify and correct any hot spots in your system, making your system cooler and quieter, leading to a longer lifespan. We take thermal images of each computer we ship, and make them available to you! |
| BIOS Screenshots For most builds we provide screenshots of every BIOS screen, as documentation of your BIOS settings. We feel it is important to keep a record of all settings we used, just in case! This also allows you a convenient record of our settings, in case you decide you make changes and can't remember your original settings. |
| 92 point quality control checklist When you're shipping as many computers a day as Puget, it can be challenging to make sure nothing is overlooked when you have so many things that you want to give personal attention. To ensure nothing gets missed, we have a comprehensive checklist to step our techs through the process. Each check point records the exact time and name of the technician. |
| Safe Packing Materials Shipping damage is one of the biggest problems in the computer industry. Using specially made packing materials, our computers receive excellent shipping protection, far exceeding UPS and FedEx recommendations, as well as our competitors! |
| Burn-In Process Your professional workstation is fully tested prior to delivery. All hardware and software components are tested under heavy load to ensure reliability in the harshest conditions! |
| System Restore DVD In addition to receiving your full operating system disks, we also provide a system restore DVD, allowing you to quickly wipe your hard drive and restore your operating system to exactly the way it was when you first received your PC! We include this service with our Windows 7 PCs (except where prevented by an especially exotic configuration). |
