Puget focuses on building custom computer systems, with an emphasis on quiet performance. 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. Puget also makes a smaller system called the Obsidian, which is designed for the small business market.
In 2007, Puget built a computer submerged in mineral oil. 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 Celsius. 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.
On October 13, 2009, Puget was one of the first integrators of custom personal computing systems to sell computers using Windows 7.

Famous quotes containing the word products:
“Good wine needs no bush,
And perhaps products that people really want need no
hard-sell or soft-sell TV push.
Why not?
Look at pot.”
—Ogden Nash (1902–1971)
“The reality is that zero defects in products plus zero pollution plus zero risk on the job is equivalent to maximum growth of government plus zero economic growth plus runaway inflation.”
—Dixie Lee Ray (b. 1924)
“It seemed there was a sort of poisoning, an auto-infection of the organisms, so Dr. Krokowski said; it was caused by the disintegration of a substance ... and the products of this disintegration operated like an intoxicant upon the nerve-centres of the spinal cord, with an effect similar to that of certain poisons, such as morphia, or cocaine.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
