OS Installation

I’ve bought three PCs from Puget Systems: one for my nephew and two for myself. Great customization, great team and speedy delivery. Will buy again.

This was my first experience using Puget, and I must say that I was very impressed. Almost immediately after saving a configuration, I was contacted by a customer service rep offering to help. Throughout the process, every question or concern I had was promptly answered.

I’ve been using my new Puget system for about a week now and it’s fantastic. My PC came with the standard spare parts and also came with a binder with my system configuration documented and helpful guides to get my PC up and running as quickly as possible.

All in all I was extremely impressed with Puget Systems. I will definitely use them again.

Puget computers are head and shoulders above the rest. In test after test it never let me down. These guys know how to build a computer. They are courteous and very professional and know what they’re talking about. Their computers are very reliable. There are beautiful inside and out. You can tell these are well-built computers. I give the company and the workers five stars. The desk top computer I ordered from Puget was the best investment I’ve ever made. The computer is so fast it amazes me. I would recommend Puget computers to anyone who is looking for a reliable, fast, worry free and inexpensive computer. This computer is awesome. It arrived on time and was boxed extremely well. I would buy another Puget computer in a heartbeat. I don’t normally do these kind of reviews but I’m so impressed with Puget I just had to say something about the company and the people. Their people are amazing. Jeff Stubbers is an amazing guy. He helped me from beginning to end. He returned my emails, he was there by phone. He made me feel like part of the Puget family. Try getting any of that from any of the major computer companies and you’ll get laughed at. Thanks guys, you all are the best.

My first Puget system (2004) still runs like a champ, so I didn’t even consider anyone else when I decided it was time for an upgrade. My new custom air cooled system is awesome — I couldn’t be happier with it.

Ten years of progress in the technology combined with the SSD’s Jeff recommended, and I’m still blown away by its performance even after using it for several weeks. As a Linux-only user, they even pre-installed Fedora for me (no charge). As examples of their thoroughness, the system came with detailed unpacking instructions and screen shots of all the BIOS settings.

I’m happy to find that it’s still the same great company I discovered ten years ago. Their sterling reputation is well deserved!

“Awesome company! Jeff Stubbers at Puget Custom Computers gave me sound advice. I am not a newbie around computers, but was not real familiar with the Intel Xeon processor line up. Jeff was immediately able to steer me to a proper selection and able to explain why I should use that particular processor.

I should mention that I was searching for a reliable custom builder that could supply a system that would be 100% hardware compatible with Linux. My system was shipped with my preferred Linux distro, Ubuntu 14.04 LTS. They even contacted me to learn how I wished the hard drive to be partitioned.

Puget systems are a work of art both outside and inside the case. Other builders should take lessons in top quality component selection, cable bundling and routing, and attention to detail from Puget Custom Computers.

My new system sits under my workstation by my left leg and is virtually silent. 5 stars in all categories! Will definitely buy from them again. “

This thing is fantastic. A first class collection of geeks built it, there is no doubt in my mind.
I really like the way you guys document every detail about the construction and testing. Inspires confidence. I might still have to upgrade my off grid powersystem, it uses a few more watts than the old laptop did, but the tradeoff is worth it.

The level of customer service and attention to detail is phenomenal (and I say this as a former IT support person for City Hall). The only thing they missed was that when Windows went to sleep, the fans stopped – even though the CPU was running full bore. (I recommend you disable that feature by default and let the customer decide)

The shipment was beautifully boxed up – if you could find something other than those pesky packing peanuts, that would be nice 🙂

Difference between buying a machine from a big name manufacturer and Puget Systems – night and day

I am extremely satisfied and look forward to many years of trouble-free computing.

My new Genesis I desktop arrived today, on schedule. The packaging was excellent, with very nice attention to detail, and all the extras from the machine’s build organized into a very usable form.

Like a few others have mentioned, the case is a bit bigger than I expected – no fault of Puget Systems, as all the dimensions are clearly listed. For me, the size is no issue, as the office corner where this will sit is not cramped. But for those with tight space requirements, be sure and measure if there’s any doubt that this case will fit where the old beige box used to.

For a big workstation, it’s a wonderfully quiet system: the only computer in the house quieter than it will be the Mac Air and its no moving parts (not kidding – my set-top DVR fans are far more audible). The build quality looks excellent: tidy, well organized, with nice spacing amongst components to accommodate cooling needs. Far better than the four or five custom builds I’ve done myself.

The customizing and ordering process with Puget is a pleasure. William George was outstanding to work with: prompt response to questions, willing to do some legwork to provide answers, and never pushy over the full month while I mulled my options. And after the order, the company’s website lets the customer see all the steps of the build and test process.

I was very happy to have experts make sure I’d chosen compatible parts, that nothing was DOA with the initial build, and that an initial stress test had passed before shipping. Like I said, I’ve done some custom builds over the last dozen years. I think it’s time to limit my “inside the box” work to maybe adding a few more hard drives.

I only have a few hours of actual power-on time with the new system, so an early-life failure is certainly still possible, but if that happens I’ll find out how Puget’s warranty work is and write another testimonial.

Highly recommended.

I have had my laptop for two days now. It is the best computer I have ever owned. Deliver was on time and set up was flawless. It was really nice NOT having all the preloaded junk software that one encounters with a Box Store PC. Just Windows and the apps I selected. My Office 2013 downloaded easily as did two specialty programs. It is lightening fast and it has a crisp, clear interface. I also liked the documentation that came with the laptop, very, very helpful. My overall experience was outstanding. You get what you pay for! I have given up my creaky old Windows Vista PC and my Apple IPAD1 and use my laptop exclusively.

Computer was a little bigger than I expected but beautiful, quiet and fast. It seemed to have a lot care behind it – I have all kinds of parts and manuals and even a notebook about it, which is interesting in a digital age. So far I believe this has been worth the money and would do business here again.
