"After a bad experience with another vendor of quiet systems, I have been absolutely thrilled with my system from Puget Systems. It runs quietly and quickly with no problems.
These guys aren't just another parts vendor who will charge you $500 to throw some parts in a case. They select quality components (so I don't have to) and take the time to do proper systems integration and burn-in."
"Computer just arrived, built and shipped out in about a week, excellent build quality, every step of the build process was viewable online, I have no complaints. I've referred three other people to Puget Systems based on my friwnds' experiences with them, and when it came time to build a studio workstation, I went right to Puget Systems."
"After purchasing a system from Puget, I wanted some time to pass before writing a review or testimonial. With almost a year since I've had my system, I'm very happy with Puget's business and would easily buy from them again.
When getting a new computer, I originally planned to purchase from Newegg and build my own, but I opted not to due to past headaches, namely broken/non-working parts. Puget takes care of that. Not only do they check the entire system, they check each component individually. They stress test and monitor system checks. As an avid FPS gamer, I'm going to push my system to the limits, and it's nice to know that my system has already been tested in this condition.
PROS:
From near-perfect quality assurance to one of the best customer service experiences I've ever had, Puget takes care of it's customers.
CONS:
Price. You can overpay from Dell/Alienware and for lesser quality parts. You can also go cheaper through other 3rd-party builders, but you pay for quality with Puget, quality that's just in another league, in my opinon.
Overall, while it's pricier than other 3rd parties or building your own, that extra money spent is well worth it. In nearly a year, I haven't had a single problem with my computer, and I wouldn't expect any less given how much they make sure it's in proper working order. Once the computer's in your hands, they continue with top-notch service. I've asked a few questions, and they've responded incredibly quickly. Customer support is very personable and friendly. They were incredibly helpful, willing to do research to provide an informed answer. I have no plans of buying computers from anyone else but Puget."
"I ordered a premium case from Puget and couldn't have been happier with the shopping experience. The ordering process was very easy and the product was received in great condition. I would purchase again from Puget."
"Great seller ! Package arrived on time, well packaged, as described. Will certainly do business with them again."
"This has been without a doubt the best experience I have ever had with a new computer and a computer maker. I waited for a month before writing my review just to make sure that everything continued as well as it started. This computer is lightning fast, quiet as a mouse, and totally streamlined. There is no shovelware or crapware like you find on mass-produced computers, there aren't three different programs trying to run every piece of hardware. I have had no software compatibility issues at all. This is the first time I have ever gotten a PC and had everything on it work perfectly (it's like a Mac!) The personnel at Puget have been very responsive nd helpful. Each customer is a assigned to a representative who helps you build and customize your computer, and are there to help with any questions after the computer arrives. 5 Stars!!! "
"These guys lived up to their ratings. William and the crew did a great job in walking me through the various options. Communications during the order and subsequent build/burn-in phase were excellent.
Support was great during the few times I needed help!
Highly recommended!"
"I am so glad that a friend recommend Puget to me. I was looking for a water cooling system that was compact, clean and not too pricy. I found the Asetek 550LC CPU Liquid Cooling System and it was just what needed and for a very reasonable price. I could not be mre please with the product.

"I discovered Puget Systems Computer, when searching for a Video Editing system. I was considering purchasing an MacPro, but the cost for additonal RAM made me hestitate. I configured several computers on the Puget website and was contacted by one of their techs. He asked me what i was building the systems for. (Adobe CS4/CS5 Production Premium) After providing my limited expenses, William George, provided me with some options and then the system i ended up purchasing.
Without a doubt, customer service was beyond anyone i've dealt with. Simply Outstanding! I watch the progress of the system being built, tested, retested and completed online. I got my system, 1 day earlier then it was expected. The i7 core and 24 GB of ram really cooks. I will recommend Puget Custom Computers, without hesitation."
"Found a hard to find cable here are a reasonable price. Quick shipping and good communication. "
"I've only ever placed one order with Puget Systems, for a $5 part. Nevertheless, I am impressed by the fact that my feedback as a customer was sought proactively--this demonstrates an outstanding focus on customer satisfaction! I will consider Puget Systems for any future PC hardware purchases."
"I ordered a power switch for my mineral oil cooled computer and it works great. Received it pretty quickly as the processing was great. I also research quite a bit about mineral oil cooled computers from their website, which was really why I first went PugetSystems. The website was really the only place I could find information on these computers. Keep up the good info :D"
"Thorough and professional, wonderfully patient customer service by email or phone, very courteous; excellent system in place which allows you to design your own configuration online, with extensive and detailed but very understandable information and advice; I have not seen another computer maker web site with so much information, so articulately and helpfully presented; after purchase, you can "watch" the progress of your system being built, and see everything that is done to it (building, testing, etc.) I needed a computer that was nothing fancy but very quiet, and with Windows XP since I'm not ready to venture on to the new OS; I chose my components accordingly (with the advice and guidance mentioned above), and the computer I have received is what I hoped it would be and so far it is running smooth as silk. They also did a good job of installing the OS for me (I had bought a retail copy of XP and I sent it to Puget). Lastly, I'll mention that I greatly appreciate this company's plain-spoken and open style of communicating and functioning: from real information about the company and its people, to the most useful technical advice. If you're not happy with the big PC retailers and their bewildering and frustrating modus operandi, then you will probably find Puget Custom Computers a very refreshing change."
"This is the second system I've gotten from Puget Systems. The first ran perfectly right out of the box and is still going strong. The second system is even better. Puget helped me develop specs which met my needs ~ I like a really quiet machine that I can use to edit photos and videos. Once again Puget systems made recommendations that sometimes reduced the cost of the final machine. The combination of high quality, personal service and a high quality product makes Puget unique in this market.
Rating 10 out of 10 for service, quality, and responsivenss.

"For the past 19-20 years I have been having custom computers built for me. It wasn't until I read reviews and customer's comments that for the first time in all these years,I found a company that takes such pride in their work that I was totally blown away for the first time in my computer building career. These people are the epitome of what consumer custom computer building is all about.
There is no further any company could possibly go as far as every aspect, from ordering to receiving a custom built computer, in every aspect. These people not only use the finest quality parts for their computers, but their service, in every possible way, to assist the customer, is the finest I have ever come across in 20 years and 9 computers later.While you configure your computer, you have such a variety of configurations, the likes of which I have never encountered before. When I was done configuring, then received my personal computer, I was totally blown away at the fact that I spent so little money, yet got such a high end speed demon, that is so physically beautiful, I realized that I made the best choice in working with Puget Custom Computers. They even went so far as to explain every detail each day, as they put together each part, via their website. They even mentioned that they cleaned up the area after work was done. No detail was ever left out. And to boot, they did a barrage of tests and inspected each part over and over again, until everything ran perfectly, as well as doing run thrus as if they were the customer. In other words they pulled out all the stops like I have never encountered before. Dozens of tests were done, many of which I never even heard of. Like the computerized machines that are used now to do extensive tuneups on car inspections. Every step of the way was detailed once again via my personal web pages. It was totally mind boggling to me. I thought I had an idea what to expect when I received "Green Gables" which is what I named my baby as I ordered a windowed side for my mid tower with green neon lights inside and led lights to match. The inside is so beautiful, being an abstract and fine art computer artist, I was overwhelmed with what I'll call a real beautiful piece of sculptured art, inside and out. I had many friends over, just to unveil my new piece of sculptured machine. I truly have never seen anything like it, not in my wildest dreams! Truly a spectacle to behold and be proud of! I am soooo happy. I even went so far as to put a heavy duty lock on Green Gables personal room. No one dares go in there without me! Thank you Puget and all the kind and courteous people that made this "Dream Machine" possible!
P.S. The packaging was so well made, you could have dropped it 10 stories out of a window and it would still have come out of the box without a scratch!"
