"This is the second computer that I have purchased from Puget systems and once again it was a fantastic experience.
The Box that the computer was shipped in was fantastic! Well packed and all the documentation and original disks were sent with the computer.
I would highly recommned Puget Custom Computers to anyone in the market for a computer!"
"I ordered a custom-built computer from Puget Systems three months ago and have absolutely nothing but the best to say about the entire experience from that point to this. After entering a system configuration online, a Puget Systems employee (William George) contacted me within a few hours to discuss the configuration. We discussed the intended use of the system and my budget. We exchanged approximately 20 emails over the next 48 hours refining the configuration and components. William's recommendations saved me money on more expensive components which were overkill and allowed me to reallocate portions of my budget to components which I hadn't originally considered. The process was seamless and, even three months in retrospect, I wouldn't change any aspect of the system. Following the order, Puget Systems exceeded high expectations of their reputation for quality manufacturing and system testing. The system shipped ahead of schedule, arrived in perfect condition and has been working flawlessly ever since. Whether you're a computer game junkie, student or financial professional who needed a fast, reliable and quiet system, you should choose Puget Systems with confidence and look forward to having already high expectations surpassed."
"The Best Computer buying experience that I have ever had.The entire process from choosing the components, watching the build, shipping were all handled with service."
"Earlier this year I started researching for a computer that would meet my need for handling easily very large image files in Photo Shop. I received a recommendation on a photography forum to take a look at Puget Systems computers. I am glad I did!
I went to their website and was immediately impressed by its quality, and the ease with which I could find information and configure a computer.
Like most folks, I have budget constraints, so it was important to me that I obtain the best machine I could afford. I used Puget's online chat and e-mail to ask questions. Each of my questions was answered in very short order, often within minutes. Puget did not try to sell me things I did not need, but worked with me to spec a computer that would meet my needs within my budget.
I ordered my Obsidian Workstation-based PC on April 27. During the testing process, Puget discovered that the mother board was causing the system to lock up. What did they do? They replaced the mother board, and retested the entire system! Puget left nothing to chance, and although this resulted in a slight delay in shipping my computer, I had a great machine when it arrived!
The computer looks great, inside and out, worked perfectly from the first day, and it is quiet, even under the load of 1+GB image files in Photo Shop CS-5. To say I am impressed by the quality of the build is an understatement!
Puget System's business model; from their website, to sales, to building, testing and customer service and support should be envied by other computer makers. Yes, my computer may have cost a bit more than an equivalent machine from another firm, but my Puget Systems computer is much more than I could have asked for!
If you are considering the purchase of a computer for imaging work, or for general usage, I encourage you to give Puget Systems a very close look!

"Puget Custom Computers exceeds all their guarantees: 4 business days and 6 minutes passed from placing my order to shipment, unbiased advice on saving money without sacrificing performance, quick responses from the sales team by email (seemingly day and night), and top-quality components (the Tranquillo cpu fan is HUGE). Emphasis on customer service and system reliability with a truly noticeable motivation to be the best. Pugetsystems.com is the top Google result for "quiet gaming computer" and they deserve it."
"just received my new system from Puget.....from the very beginning to the point of delivery was complete professionalism! The layout and information they provide during the "build" process is fantastic!I am currently in "perma-grin" mode! I would and will recommend this company without hesitation to anyone looking for a new system that doesnt want the hassel of building it yourself. 10 out of 10 puget!!!!! "
"I have absolutely nothing to do with this company and this is my first purchase from them although I have been involved in the purchase of nearly 1000 computers over the years. My experience with Puget was the best ever to date. Responses were quick, even sent over the weekend. People were knowledgeable. Great help in refining the components prior to purchase with end use in mind. Excellent website to keep track of the build and delivery process. They were very detailed about making sure everything was perfect - requiring delay in build of mine to replace suboptimal components but I was kept informed at all times and was much nicer to recieve a perfect machine a few days later than one with problems. And unboxing experience was fantastic. excellent pack. A notebook was provided with all the essentials and more neatly filed. Excellent post delivery help with setup issues. And the best performing machine I have ever had. Too bad I can only give them 5 stars as they deserve more. Will use them from now on for any purchases of high end setups."
"My third computer from PCC in four years. Very pleased with recommendations quality and function. Had some issues on initial loading programs apparently caused by use of an old pen and tablet not supported by W7. Tech response has always been good."
"Add me to the list of very satisfied customers of Puget Systems. Every part of the experience was above the norm. I don't know how they do it.
Configuring my computer was easy and the Puget Systems website was very helpful and informative. Almost anything you want to know about any component is available, including links to the manufacturers website. Most importantly, after submitting my order, an expert reviewed it to assure all of the components were compatible.
As the order is processed and as the system is being assembled, I was able to follow every step by logging into my Puget Systems account. The technicians follow a detailed and thorough checklist and it was interesting and informative to follow their progress at each step. They even post the results of the thorough test program, including thermal imaging of the assembled system during burn-in.
The system was carefully packaged for shipping and arrived in perfect shape. The workmanship was excellent. The system was professionally assembled, cabling was done with care and the end result was a very tight and clean assembly. It booted perfectly right out of the box.
Even more impressive was the quick response I received to a couple of inquiries I made. In one case I was amazed to get a response on a Sunday night within an hour of my emailed question.
The experience is such a cut above any other vendor I know of that you'd think you'd pay a steep premium for such service and quality. However, when I compared the cost of purchasing a pre-configured system from a well-known manufacturer with a comparable assembly from Puget Systems, the cost difference was nominal. Of course the stock, pre-configured system was full of compromises; when I ordered my custom system from Puget Systems I got just what I wanted.
It is rare to experience such a customer-oriented and professional approach.

"I can't say enough good things about Puget Systems. I honestly hadn't thought anyone had this level of service anymore. Their prices were very competitive, they responded to all my questions quickly and informatively, they built an excellent computer that was fast and quiet with extra care taken to maintain a tight, organized interior. Their packaging was superb and included every part I might want, organized clearly. And above all, they worked quickly.
The only non-glowing thing I will add is that changes to the order cost an extra $50, even if you try to change it immediately after ordering, so make sure you know exactly what you want before you submit your order."
"I have just completed the install of my new system. Every aspect of this process has been a delight. From specking out my design, to ordering, to the build out to the set up and finally the performance. The machine is deadly fast and quiet. Puget Systems will being out the computer geek in anyone.
I would recommend this company to anyone who cares about quality service, support and products in a custom computer."
"I have been buying, building, and servicing computers for as long as there have been PCs, and can honestly say that Puget Systems provided the highest level of customer service that I have ever experienced.
I was looking for the quietest PC I could find. After reading several sites dedicated to the subject of quiet PCs, I found out about Puget Systems. I purchased my PC 4/21/11 and it shipped on week later. The entire experience has been outstanding thus far. And my PC is absolutely SILENT. Now just need to find a quieter keyboard.
Highlights:
- Online configuration system worked great; able to save configurations before buying for price comparisons
- I made a change to my order after placing it (different video card), and after the build had begun. They handled the change easily and quickly.
- Very fast response from knowledgeable customer service personnel
- They sent pictures of my actual PC along with the shipment notification - that was a first for me!
- Packaging was rack solid...right down to foam INSIDE the case
- PC arrived ready to use; even the copy of MS office was installed and activated.
- They covered all the details; even including the 'throw away' parts in the accessories kit...nice touch. Ever wish you had the expansion bay cover when you remove a card? Now you will have it.
I have a new favorite PC builder!"
"Hello guys, my name is Lucy Hu, of Fresno CA.
I first wanted to build a computer, by buying its parts piece by piece on sites for cheaper. But boy was i wrong, about 60% of all the items that came in were either DOA (Dead on Arrival) or defective from the start. Not to mention paying 10-15% restocking fee on about $1,750 on the tower and it's inside component.
So i did alot of digging to find out which company is dollar for dollar, pound per pound, tick for tack company i should go and do business with. I later found out, that companies can be rated by www.BBB.com, and found out that out of all the top company brands "PUGET SYSTEM" was #1, in best Grade rating which is an A+, had less then 2 complaints in the last 36months of May 2009-2011 and a total of 6 complaints in 6+years.
From the start, i spoke to Richard which is one of the admins on the live chat support from 9a-6p M-F. And from the start i wasn't pushed to purchase this or that, but was treated like a human being who is just looking to buy a computer. During my live chat with Richard, i was given advice on what type of computer component would fit my needs, and slowly began my custom built process.
Another thing that i notice is that, Puget System doesn't charge TAX, and saved me $234.13 and shipping is only about 65 bucks. The Computer desktop itself is 22in by 20in by 9in that weights about 50ish pounds. Top shipping company charges about 40+ bucks for that weight. which reminds about 25 bucks left, when i open the box, it contained about 10pounds of cushion, including an air form inside the case, making sure that the component inside is safe from damage. I also received a binder with about 20ish pages, yes 20! pages of test results from my component including the tester's name. They also took a picture of your BIOS and keep it in their system to better help your service if your computer breaks down several years from now. In fact from what i heard in chats, they are willing to give you live support online or by phone if your computer were to act funny for life! which is insanely awesome.
Overall: Let the professionals like Puget System create your computer, they test each component fully, you get lifetime support and free labor. Plus they are #1, spend that extra money on people who really care, and Puget System is that company."
"Wishing to purchase a computer to facilitate my hobbies of still and motion photography, I researched many computer manufacturers over a period of months. I eventually came to the conclusion that a custom computer would be the best fit for my purposes. Puget provided the best pre-sales support and gave me advice to obtain the best price/performance ratio. The computer was built and delivered quickly and it arrived with full instructions to set up and run. The Puget Serenity design is totally silent - only the occaisional buzzing of a hard drive can be heard - otherwise, if the screens are powered down, I have to check the blue light on the computer to see if it's on. One issue that arose initiated a call to Puget's technical support and went straight to a technician - no waiting. However, I subsequently resolved the problem on my own - I left a DVD in the optical drive and Windows 7 would not boot up. Overall, the Puget buying experience was very pleasant - I would not hesitate to buy from them again. "
"Very helpful in building a PC that fits my needs. Their suggestions on which components made the decisions easy. I'm delighted with my screaming machine and have been using it trouble-free for a couple of months."
