Highly Reliable Product Line
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) | Sold | Failed | Failure Rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| MSI MAG B550M MORTAR WIFI | 104 | 6 | 5.77% |
| GIGABYTE B550 VISION D | 160 | 3 | 1.88% |
| ASUS TUF B550M-PLUS (WI-FI) | 32 | 0 | 0% |
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!

I feel sorry for these guys
I’ve built plenty of my own systems over the years. But now I’m on my third Puget Systems build. Lemme tell you, they do it better than I ever could. From the pre-sales to the pre-shipping, all the pictures and benchmarks. Total top-notch company and product.
But I feel sorry for them because my system is running so well (over six years now) that I don’t feel like I need another one and won’t for some time.
So, sorry guys. If you’d just build shoddy products like everyone else, I’d have to come back more often for new builds.
But when it’s time, you know where I’m gonna go.
Great deal
Love the detailed testing, feedback, pictures, heat/thermal imagining. Very easy to order and spec out.
Only needed to change the regional time to local, and ready to go.
Puget Systems is the BEST!
I have purchased three computers from Puget Systems going back to 2016. They are unmatched in helping you design a platform that will fit your needs. I needed help creating a system I could use for Photoshop processing and graphic design using a Cintiq monitor. My consultant reviewed the specs of the graphics card with me to make sure I would have the correct fit for my hardware. I especially like the status updates provided as they go through the process of the build. Such thorough detail! Wonderful experience from start to finish!
Update: Third time not a charm
As a follow up to my critical comments below in “Third time not a charm”, to their credit Puget Systems offered to rebuild my system to my satisfaction. Although I decided to keep the system as-is, this illustrates their total commitment to customer satisfaction.
Third time not a charm
This was my third system from Puget, but my third time is definitely NOT a charm. They sent me a motherboard that must be removed to replace the CMOS battery. It’s an ASUS ProArt Z790-Creator WiFi, but I wonder what idiot/moron/imbecile/lamebrain came up with this design. I found this online post about the ProArt Z790 from a person who builds his own water cooled computers: “Stay clear of motherboards where it takes two hours to replace a CMOS battery. I had to do this today. The CMOS of the Proart requires mobo removal and removal of the IO board shield in order to unplug the CMOS battery, and then no shop has such a battery. I ended up cutting off the wires and soldering them onto a new 3V battery designed with solder lugs. See attached (photo) what the rubbish looks like.” Guess I should have done my homework before ordering, but trusted Puget to include decent components in their builds. Their own tech support person described the battery replacement as “sad”. Their reply to my complaint was “If the CMOS battery does need to be replaced within the lifetime of the system, we can swap it out for you in our repair shop.” Which means: (1) the hassle of packing it up and getting it to UPS or FedEx (2) the inconvenience of having no computer for probably 2 weeks (3) the shipping expense of $242 round trip. When the battery died in my old system, I spent a few bucks at Walgreens for a new battery and had it replaced in 5 minutes. What a joke!
Customer for life…
The customer service and build quality are second to none.
First ever gaming PC
This is my first ever proper gaming PC setup and it works like an absolute dream; I love it so much.
I’ve purchased 5 systems
I’ve purchased 5 systems from Puget over the last few years. Outstanding quality, support, and excellent product lines.
Outrageously awesome
Outrageously awesome crew here at Puget System, they’ve come through for this old disabled veteran for years with my machines!
Great Experience
Working with Puget Systems was first class. The process started with system selection on the website. The interface was very intuitive and questions on specs were only a click away. Purchasing came next followed by a personal email from a Puget rep to confirm my choices. Once the computer arrived, unboxing was easy and setup was a dream. I was up and running in no time. Thanks Puget Systems!!
