"One of the easiest on-line ordering experiences of my life. I "built" my computer on a Thursday afternoon and took PS up on their offer to have my design reviewed by a member of their team. I submitted a "request to review", and received a response on Friday with several helpful recommendations including a suggestion that ultimately saved me $75. I thought about it over the weekend, and placed my order on Monday afternoon. One week later my custom built computer arrived, as promised.
However, I had a question during setup of my computer and called the Support line only to discover that Support was available only from 9AM - 5PM (Mon - Fri). I had to take a few hours off work the next day to get the answers to my questions anbd I have to say, this was a very disappointing moment in my otherwise excellent experience dealing with PS. I have been told that they are adjusting their hours of support to include later hours in the evening as well as weekend coverage.
All this being said, my computer is everything I had hoped it would be and I am a very satisfied and happy camper.

"Excellent customer service – Wilson was very knowledgeable of the product line. He was very helpful in pointing me toward components to build a quiet system. He responded to emails promptly and in detail (and one response was during a weekend).

Prompt build & delivery – Once the order was submitted, it took very little time for the system to be built and shipped quickly.

The Computer – My concern was getting a computer that was quiet. And with the help of Wilson, I got one. I couldn't believe how quiet it was when I plugged it in. Looking inside the case, I realized how much time and effort they took in laying the cables and wires. The wiring is neat, tidy and routed with air flow in mind.

This was my second computer from this company. The first purchase was four years ago and I experienced the same service and quality back then.

I reviewed other custom builders. Many offered lesser components or offered limited customization. There's something unique at the Puget System web site.

"The hardware, the packaging, and the service were all great. Staff was prompt, courteous, and helpful. Pretty much everything you could ask for from a custom computer vendor, and more considering the genuinely personal care they give your order. (Thanks are due to Perry, here!)

In the "Computer Information Booklet" they shipped with my computer, I was confused about whether or not one of my components had been tested, and Jon Bach (the President himself) got in touch with me to settle my worries. (Long story short: Minor clerical error caused the component description to not show up in a couple of text-fields. All correct benchmark data was present.)

When you experience the one-on-one interaction with your customer rep (who cares about your system as much as you do), and receive the Presidential treatment, you'll know, like I do, that this company is dead serious about not just customer satisfaction, but customer *contentment* (think zen).

tl;dr ... Puget is a *top-notch* place to purchase a custom computer system.

"I ordered an E8400 from Puget when availability on the market was slim to none.

Not only did they send me a well packaged quality product, but they sent it in a timely manner along with a working tracking number. All things which some vendors have a habit of failing to do.

I'll definitely buy from them again in the future.

"Puget was kind enough to supply several hard to find Intel E8400 processors to members of an internet forum where I am a member. The processor was reasonably priced and shipped within a week of ordering. This processor has worked very well for me and is the heart of my new build."

Every buisness would do well to take lessons from these guys. I will never buy a computer anywhere else as long as these guys are in buisness which I expect to be a long long time."

"We are a small company in need of high performance computing for image analysis applications. In the past, we have purchased our hardware from lead name vendors.

A friend recommended that we look at hardware from Puget Systems. We are thankful we did.

We are very happy with the product and service we have received from Puget Systems.

The sales person we worked with helped us to configure a machine that met our requirements. We now call up the same sales order on-line to order additional systems.

The building of the system is unlike any company I've seen. Once our order was placed, we could follow each assembly process on-line to better understand all of the installation and test steps.

The system was shipped on time and to no surprise, a comprehensive notebook is delivered with the machines that explains all of its components and benchmarks.

We are very happy with the received hardware and look forward to many more purchases through Puget Systems.

"So far, the computer has acted fantastically and there has only been a very minimum amount confusion (not even problems). Everything works great, probably because it was set up properly by the staff. Unlike computers you buy at Best Buy there is no spam on the computer when you receive it. The CPU works great and hasn't bogged down once. My one qualm with the system is the battery life can be a little short lived. Other than that I recommend and have recommended this computer company.

"My first ordering experience from Puget Systems has been very positive. They had Intel E8400 processors in stock when nobody else did, and the prices were extremely fair compared to the competition. My E8400 arrived quickly and in perfect shape.

Communication has also been great with very friendly and supportive emails. I'm sure these guys would do anything in their power to help if a problem should arise.

Overall I highly recommend Puget Systems based on my single purchase. Shipping is quick, customer service is excellent, and they build some really nice computers! Nice website too!

"I use 3d mondeling software and enjoy playing games. Since my PC is in the livingroom it also needs to be quiet as if I need to leave it rendering overnight or am working on a project I did not want fan noise to bother my wife watching tv.

After some investigation, I found the Puget Custom Computers website. I was immediately impressed with the reviews on the web about systems from there as well as the extremely detailed and useful information on computer parts and system building on their website. I also was impressed with the information and replies from Puget to users in their web forum.

Based on this I initially thought of going with a water cooled system, however William from Puget showed me a comparable part and cheaper air cooled quad system which he said would be quieter.

It was also very easy during the build process to upgrade my video card. I was very impressed to watch on my account in their website the actual progress for the build of my new pc. Very Cool :)

Finally the day arrived, the pc arrived double boxed and in perfect condition to boot up and use.

Setting it up, the first thing I noticed other than the extremely useful info they had in the packing boxes and custom setup book for my pc, was that the pc was silent enough that other than looking over to see the lights flashing, I could not tell it was on.

I would not have expected (prior to reading their website and working with them) that you could get a quad core intel chip, 3 hard drives, and a nvidia 9800 gtx video card and sitting next to the pc, you can not hear the fans and cooling they used :) Even having used it for a few weeks now I am still amazed every time even during game play that it is running silently and at cool temps for the components.

Needless to say I am EXTREMELY pleased. Not only do I have a super fast quad core pc with tons of storage for games and 3d modeling, but it is super quiet and set up on arrival exactly like (or better than) if I had built it myself. They partitioned the hard drive, installed XP pro for me, even though most other vendors are pushing vista.

Even before ordering my new pc I could not stop talking about their website and how useful it was with friends. Now that I have the new pc...I can not say enough that these folks will not only have my new pc business in the future but I plan to keep recommending them to everyone I know or hear about who is looking for a new pc.

Awesome company, superior support and useful information, amazing build quality and just all around the best experience I have ever had in purchasing anything electronic. Way to go!

"I have been extremely satisfied with my purchase of a Puget Systems computer. Their website contains an abundance of specifications, reviews and performance versus cost information that enables potential buyers to understand and specify custom-built systems. The timeliness of the system build, testing and delivery was greatly appreciated. I am extremely impressed by the quality of the system I purchased and will definitely consider Puget Systems for future computer system needs."

"After finding this company while roaming through the internet, and hearing nothing but good reviews, I decided to see and give it a try myself. And let me tell you, there is not one regret. From start to finish, there was no complications what-so-ever; everything from friendly and honest sales reps to quality control and timely shipping, a very top notch company that everyone should come to for high end custom computers, or anything in between.

The computer I ordered came within a week, and not one problem with it, at all. I appreciate the hard work and VERY honest people at Puget, it is hard to find a company out there of this magnitude.
