Puget Systems is a custom computer business based in Kent, Washington. They operate primarily through their website, and sell a mixture of custom and preconfigured computers including laptops, desktops, and servers. The business was founded by Jon Bach in 2000.

History

Puget Systems was founded by Jon Bach in 2000 under the name Puget Sound Systems. The business was named for the Puget Sound region in which it is located, but the name caused confusion about their servicescite web |url= http://www.pugetsystems.com/aboutus.php |title= About Us |author= Puget Custom Computers |date= 2008 ] and was changed to Puget Custom Computers for clarity early in the business's life. In early 2008, it was shortened to Puget Systems.

The company was originally run out of the owner's home, and moved to an industrial warehouse as it grew. Puget currently operates out of a facility in Kent, Washington.

Products

Puget focuses on building custom computer systems, with an emphasis on quiet performance.cite web |url= http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F0DE6D7123FF932A35752C1A9609C8B63&scp=1&sq=puget+systems&st=nyt |title= Customizing: For Specialized Users, a PC Concierge to Meet Your Needs |author= Tim Gnatek |work= The New York Times |date= November 1 2006 |quote= ] The company caters to home users and gamers as well as specialists who need a computer tailored to their needs, such as video editing or day trading. Puget offers baffling and high quality fans to reduce sound levels, which has become their specialty.

Along with custom systems, Puget also sells two named systems. The Deluge is a high end computer, most versions of which feature liquid cooling, quad core processors, and multiple video cards.cite web |url= http://blog.wired.com/gadgets/2008/05/review-custom-b.html |title= Review: Custom Built Gaming PC Performs Like a Ferrari, Sounds Like a Mack Truck |author= Danny Dumas |work= Wired Blogs: Gadget Lab |date= May 29 2008 |quote= ] Puget also makes a smaller system called the Obsidian, which is designed for the small business market.cite web |url= http://www.reuters.com/article/pressRelease/idUS128569+10-Jun-2008+MW20080610 |title= Puget Systems Embraces SMB Markets With New Line of Custom Business Critical Desktops |author= Marketwire press release |work= Thomson Reuters |date= June 10 2008 |quote= ]

In 2007, Puget built a computer submerged in mineral oil.cite web |url= http://www.engadget.com/2007/05/12/puget-custom-computers-mineral-oil-cooled-pc/ |title= Puget Custom Computer's mineral-oil-cooled PC |author= Nilay Patel |work= Engadget |date= May 12 2007 |quote= ] The project was inspired by similar computers submerged in vegetable oil, which provides very even cooling but has the disadvantages of being translucent yellow and going rancid after a few months. The mineral oil used for this project is clear and does not decay. Oil has a high specific heat capacity, so it takes this computer approximately twelve hours of operation to reach its peak temperature of eighty degrees celcius. A radiator and pump can be attached to lower the temperature significantly. It's been in use for a year as of their last update, with only minor problems from the oil wicking into peripherals and making a mess. While Puget doesn't sell computers like this, they provide pictures and explanations on their website.
