Highly Reliable Product Line

Highly Reliable Product Line

gears icon

We make reliability one of our highest goals here at Puget Systems. Not only are failed parts costly for us to replace, but they are also very frustrating for you! That hurts our reputation, which is even more costly than the part replacement. To make sure we are minimizing component failures, one of the biggest things we can do is make sure our entire product line is high quality and not prone to failure.

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 make sure 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.

Real Sample of Data We Use

As an example, here is a sample real data taken from our records in March 2021:

Part (Brand & Model)SoldFailedFailure Rate
MSI MAG B550M MORTAR WIFI10465.77%
GIGABYTE B550 VISION D16031.88%
ASUS TUF B550M-PLUS (WI-FI)3200%
Failure rate of motherboards using the B550 chipset from September 2020 to March 2021

Acting on this data, we quickly pivoted our Micro ATX AMD Ryzen based workstations from using the MSI MAG B550M MORTAR motherboard to the ASUS TUF B550M-PLUS model. Granted, we hadn’t sold as many of the ASUS yet – but having almost 6% of the MSI boards fail during assembly (none of them were field failures) was enough to raise a red flag for us, especially compared with the much lower failure rate of the larger GIGABYTE B550 VISION D. We already had the ASUS qualified as a backup, too, so the transition was simple and should result in more reliable systems for our customers. The solutions aren’t always as simple as this, and there are often more variables to consider, but this is a great example of how these records give us hard data on how to continually improve.

Unlike big box computer manufacturers, we’re small enough to react quickly to any changes that we see in reliability. Our size allows us to be much more nimble, and we qualify multiple product line options, so that we can pivot easily when the need arises. We feel strongly that Puget Systems is in the perfect position: we are large enough to keep good statistical data while also agile enough to act on it quickly. That is a rare ability!

This is my 3rd high-end system from PCC, another incredible machine. SilverStone liquid cooled tower, Dual Xeon Quad-Core, 2TB storage, GeForce 8800GTX 768MB Water Cooled Video Card, Creative X-Fi Platinum Fatal1ty Champion Audio – this system rocks! It’s perfect for video editing and pro photo editing. I am still amazed by PCC’s customer service; it’s just as good as when I bought my 1st system 3 years ago. And it still amazes me that some customers don’t “get” the pricing. Yes, individual components might be cheaper on eBay, but look at the “bottom line.” You can’t get a comparable system or the customer service from any of the big companies at that price! I look forward to buying my 4th system from PCC! 10+ guys.

This was my first Puget system, a ‘modest’-spec computer for the office, but it had to be reliable, and quiet. I am astounded with the low noise; in fact it is quieter than the ambient noise level at night after-hours. Otherwise, performance is outstanding, what one would expect from a high-end computer builder who provides you with a ‘clean’ system. I am impressed with the staff, who freely advised me on solutions, and kept me informed on the build. Personally, though I am not rolling in money, I would never consider a ‘mainstream’ co.; it is essential that you know you are getting the best components, and not getting the junkware. I was responsible for selecting a vendor for the business, and after a month of running the system and fiddling with it under work conditions, I am now confident (and relieved) I made the correct call for my boss. If I were asked to supply another machine, I would not hesitate to order from Puget again. Many thanks to everyone on the staff. I consider Puget among the top of the top-tier builders.

Wow! So far this has been perhaps the best customer service I’ve had in a long time. I was skeptical at first because Puget does not have the brand name recognition as others, but I’m truly convinced that this was the right choice. Every step of the way for my computer purchase was personalized and I really felt your attention to detail and customer satisfaction. This is an excellent company that has a very bright future! I will definitely recommend Puget to others.

Thanks a Ton!

I needed a fast reliable computer for music recording. I use high quality outboard digital equipment and wanted a company that understood my needs. I googled and found Puget computers, I built a system and submitted it to be looked over by puget’s tech staff. I received a fast reply to my questions and the friendly tech person offered additional suggestions that I never thought about. The computer arrived very quickly and was packed like fine china.

The computer itself is pure art. Sleek, professional, fast, efficient and organized. Benchmark tests and included extra parts was not expected, the mark of a truly professional company. I would like to thank every person at Puget computers for their help, knowledge and building me a system that will give me years of quality service. You have earned a customer for life!

I am very happy with the whole experience of shopping, ordering, and receiving my new system. Excellent quality for very reasonable price. Can’t beat the customization choices.

For the future, Puget will be my only pick for new systems. I browsed Google for hours searching for a company with a good background. I found resellerratings.com and it convinced me to go with Puget.

I submitted a system for their review and William got back to me the next day with recommended changes. He did this even after I said I was thinking about a new system. The fact that Puget would assist a potential customer is awesome! I also got an upgrade to the Quad Core 2.4 free of charge due to an oversupply.

Additionally, William changed my system around and replaced a few parts with custom orders. I was impressed and I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a new computer, whatever they need it for.

Thank you William, Dan, Matthew, Dayna, Stacey, and whomever else had a hand in designing, building, and shipping my new system. {With the exception of William, I took all of your names from the “Status Update” and “Build Check-Off” tabs on my account page.} I’ve never played a contemporary computer game, I don’t really consider myself a “power user” and, in truth, I thought that spending $4000 on what is essentially a high end photo editing computer would leave me with a great deal of “buyer’s remorse.” I did it anyway (due in large part to the pre-sale support I received from William). Here’s my assessment: The anal-retentiveness – I mean no offense, but “if the shoe fits…” – of the build-quality and packaging is impressive; think high end audio gear. The machine makes so little noise, I actually crawled under my desk and held my head to the side of the case, just to make sure it was running. And it runs… Puget Custom Computers is fantastic. I think you need an “11” on your company rating. This one goes to eleven…

Everything was perfect. Very nice, top notch components, helpful staff. They even upgraded my power supply from 380 watts to 600 watts free of charge. Sure, you could go get a Dell with what seems to be the same specs for a little cheaper but you get what you pay for. My next computer will be a Puget computer and I will reccomend these guys to everyone interested in purchasing a new custom system.

Yeah, am very glad my order (AMD “high-quality heatsink) was in stock and prepared for prompt pickup, very nice. I am disappointed though you chose to charge $13 for shipping an item via UPS that would not have been delivered to me any faster than regular FedEx, or regular US Mail for that matter. Now if all you charge is $13 for delivery of a whole computer, then I’d say that’s a very good rate, but for a single part though . . .
