Going the homebrewed route is not always an option however.
Puget Deluge Mini
Remember when the term “customer service” actually had some validity to it?
One such company is Puget Systems, a custom computer shop based in Auburn, WA.
Otherwise, he recommended I stick to an air cooled solution to save money.
In terms of expandability the Deluge Mini is somewhat limited due to its microATX board.
There are also two free DDR3 memory slots and room for additional hard drives.
Our price as configured was $1,989.09.
Each company called the shots when it came to configuring their respective systems.
You’ll have to decide how much that’s worth to you.
And by every aspect, I mean just that.
The case used by Puget really is top notch and looks better in person than it does in photos.
Each side panel shares the same no-frills metal look as the front bezel.
On top of the chassis is a ventilation system for the 200mm fan that is mounted to the roof.
Two thumb screws hold the left side panel in place.
Besides looking great, this provides optimum airflow.
Certainly a breath of fresh air after working with several manufactured systems over the past few months.
