 Welcome back to another animation recommendations. And today I want to talk about Puget Systems, and it's not just a recommendations of their services. It's also a thank you to Sir Wait, because without him, I would not have known about this company and I would not benefit from this fantastic computer. First of all, this is a beast. It's a huge box. It's a massively huge, solid, beefy machine. But I'm not here to review the actual component. What I want to say is that because I'm old and I'm old in terms of I grew up with PCs when you had to configure the config and auto-exec files, you couldn't just start off a game. You had to do all kinds of trickery so that the memory was there and the auto-exec buffer and sound cards and all kinds of crazy towns. I'm so old that I lived in an era where there was no CD-ROM. The reason for me to get a CD-ROM was Rebel Assault. Of course, I'm a Star Wars nerd, so of course I had to get a CD-ROM to play that game. Or Wing Commander. Wing Commander was a reason to get a new processor. And back in the day, I would just buy separate things and build my own PC. It was very exciting and very interesting and just fun to get all the different components and build your system and have a really cool machine that could do. It wasn't work, I was young back then. It was mostly games. Then I moved from Switzerland to the States and I studied here. And the more time went by and the older I got and by older I mean lazier, I just lost touch in terms of what is new and relevant and the graphics cards and processors and RAM and cooling systems and I don't know. I reached a point where I just want someone to tell me this works, this works for your editing, this works for your animation. This is something that is proven and works. I don't have time to research. And actually the main thing is time. I just don't have time. I'm very busy. I've worked with family and I teach. Again, so much stuff to do. So I wanted something where I can just say I want to do this, this and this. What is the best machine? That being said, I didn't even know this existed until I watched Sir Wade's clip where he talked about Puget Systems where you can just go on the site and tell them either through the menu what you want or you can email them and tell them, hey listen, I'm looking for this. And I need to tell all of you it's fantastic. Sir Wade, thank you, thank you, thank you. It saved me so much time. I actually based my machine on Sir Wade's machine because I trust him because he knows everything about animation and editing and all the crazy technical things that I'm too old to know. I trust him. He told me his specs. I sent that to them. I told him I want Sir Wade's machine. And then already there to say, listen, he ordered this a while back. I now this and this and this is new and maybe better or more simplified. Do you want this, this and this? And I need to tell you if you want a machine that is so good and solid, fast and fantastic, go with them. Also, one other main reason is customer service. I buy a ton of stuff. Now, not because I'm just, you know, I have money to throw around, but yes, I like tech things as you can see with the reviews and things, but it's also as a family person, there are things in the house and services and stuff in the garage. There's all kinds of things where I need people to help me or I need to buy something in terms of a car, I don't know, all kinds of things. And after a while, and the game is I'm old, you go through certain companies and you really start to appreciate customer service. Things that work and don't work and or just recently, not to throw that out there, but Tesla customer service in San Francisco, absolutely horrendous. There we go. I said it, absolutely horrendous. The car, fantastic. Customer service, holy moly. But apparently I'm not the only one if you Google online about customer service. Anyway, the moment I ordered this machine, I got confirmation emails, I got people checking in personally. You have a log online when you check the site. So I can go onto the details and it tells me everything that I wanted. If you are interested, this is the machine and this was the final price. It's massive, it's huge, but holy moly, is it saving time. Also, as you order this, you get constant status updates in terms of who is working on things so you get thermal benchmarks, so you get all the way from the very beginning, so many updates. And again, like I said here, you got your benchmarks if you need to know more here. They go into crazy detail in terms of testing your machine and pictures of your machine. Again, benchmarks, all kinds of tests. Absolutely bananas. It was so thorough, always someone checking in and when I wrote something within hours, maybe the next day, but I think it was literally the same day, replies, thorough, friendly, knowledgeable, so good. Then you get the machine in this massively huge box because the machine is huge. The only thing I found that at the bottom is a grill that protects from dirt and dust, all kinds of stuff and I have a really shaggy rose carpet. It's kind of like chia pet style. So when I pushed the desktop under my table, that thing came off because you can take it on and off, you can slide it on and off, but because the carpet is so high, the fee on the computer is too short. This is not the computer's fault, but it's just my carpet is stupid. So then it took that thing with it, just kind of lift the computer and put it into place. If you have a kind of shaggy carpet, it's kind of FYI. So just go back to it. When you get the order, you get this and actually you get a free t-shirt. Might as well wear it. Then in the box, you get instructions on how to open it, just in case you need to open the box, but in terms of turning it over, very sensitive. You open this, you get a booklet. This is so awesome. You get an intro and a thank you. You get all the specs in terms of what's in there, how to use it, an FAQ, how to activate the machine starter guides and all kinds of things. This is huge. The process checklist. Who worked on this done by Emily? Thank you, Emily. The time, exactly at what time? Phase one testing, installation, assembly review, quality control, final preparations, packing and shipping, benchmarks. I mean, it goes on and on and on. Oh, and at the end, tools and recovery USB drive and the disc. I mean, holy moly. All of this in here, a little squishy, squishy logo. And all the cables, labeled, extra cables, HDMI, I mean, absolutely bananas. Absolutely blown away. So, so cool. Then a week or so later, I get an email of a person at the company checking in. How are things? Is everything okay? Absolute fantastic customer service with a follow-up. I can't stress this enough. Now, that being said, I totally understand if you want to buy all those things separately, you want to build your machine separately. You want to take the time to research. You want to find extra components and make it cheaper. I understand that this is a lot of money. It's very expensive. But my machine was fairly old. Nothing great. It's kind of something I got off Costco and I put in a different graphics card and the power supply. I think it's just got really, really slow. And this machine is insane. It's so fast. You might argue, yes, because your previous machine was not good. I totally understand. But I wanted something where I can trust the company. I trust the person, sirway, that recommended me this and the machine just flies through things. I did a test while I rendered something on my old machine and then the new machine next to it. And it was so much faster. It was ridiculous. I have it side by side. And at one point, the battery, my camera depleted and I couldn't record because it took so long. Everything is so unbelievably faster. It's so good. So the recommendation is for people who don't have time. They just want to go, I want this, this and this. Do this for me. I can trust them. It's going to be awesome. You get the machine and it all works. Zero problems. I'm doing recordings, screen recordings, teachings, editing and premier, Photoshop, Maya, all kinds of stuff, zero problems. And it's so fast. And this is an investment that's going to last over a lot of years. Totally understand if this is not for you. This is not how you want to make your own computer. This is not the things that you need. This is not something you can afford. Totally understand. But if you can, and you want something that just works and you can trust them and you don't have to do anything, it's for lazy people like me. Holy moly, do I recommend this company? So thank you, Fugitive Systems. And thank you, Sir Wade for making that clip and recommending this company. Holy macro, it blew my mind. I love it. I'll end it there. It's just fantastic.
