#825 - Puget Liquid Cooled Gaming Computer Video Review

"When purchasing a pre-built computer system you really need to do your research on the company you are buying it from. You do not want to spend 4-6 thousand dollars or more and then have to deal with all kinds of problems. Also, make sure the company has an excellent support department. Puget Custom Computers have been fantastic throughout the entire process, right from the build to the delivery, and that's what customers want. With a Intel Core 2 E6700 CPU, Asus P5N32-E SLI motherboard, BFG GeForce 8800GTX 768MB Water Cooled Edition Video Card and 2GBs of Kingston HyperX DDR2-800 memory, it's an amazing gaming rig. Watch the video to find out more." ~3dGameMan.com

Fantastic video. You covered this system from top to bottom. I've never seen a tech review this comprehensive and informative from ANYONE, not even PC Magazine, CNET, etc.

I just learned about Puget Systems today, and they look good. Dell now only allows basic configuration these days, and they killed off AlienWare completely a few months ago, where not even an "AlienWare" system is properly configurable.

Puget looks good, and a decent system seem priced about $2,500 or so.

I used to use Puget Systems, but ever since they've become popular there prices have skyrocketed. Luckily, I did find a great company that, in my opinion, is just as good as Puget without the high price. If you're looking for a great gaming PC with realistic prices check out Ironside Computers. As long as they keep their prices low, they'll be seeing my business for a long time.

I bought a custom liquid cooled machine from Puget, which ultimately had some sort of short which made powering the machine incredibly difficult. 4 months after having sent it back they still hadn't fixed it, and I got my refund -20% charge for it being a custom liquid cooled machine. They probably work great for most people, but don't expect major brand level support from them.

@mario11168 Believe me it's not as weak as you think. Excuse my stupidity with computer specs, but it's really not as weak as you think. I *have* owned Crysis in the past, and have played on a mix of high and very high setting getting an average of 20-50 fps range.

@dapoculos13 Medium, maybe, your processor isn't even enough for Crysis. Again, Medium, maybe.

@mario11168 I beg to differ, because I have skyrim on this pc right now, and I play it on high. Crysis too- very high actually. BF3 haven't bought it. Don't really want it.

@dapoculos13 high? not even

I have a good gaming setup, It's not amazingly powerful or nothing, but it'll suite your needs. It's a 2gb ddr2 nvidia 8800 gtx windows 7 ultimate Os. And also with around 300 mb with 1.6 ghz and 2.8 overclocked. This setup will play Skyrim, Crysis, or Battlefield 3 at around High settings. Overclocked could handle Very high or even Ultra with some speed modifications and a good Cpu cooler.

@west5ive That thumb whore comment only works when the video has shit quality. This quality is pretty decent, most likely your monitor that's shithouse.

@FalloutFanBoy101 I came up with that build for $790.00. That price included the shipping costs. It did not include the $30 that you can recieve with Mail-in Rebates. That would make the total $760.00 after you fill out and send in the Mail-in Rebate offers.
