Who We Are

Built in the High Desert

Obsidian Silicon is a one-person operation based in Redmond, Oregon — right in the heart of Central Oregon's high desert. When you drop off your parts, the same hands that answer your message are the ones building your machine. No shop floor, no handoffs, no strangers touching your hardware. Just one builder who takes it personally.

The name comes from obsidian volcanic glass, found throughout this region. Sharp, dark, and formed under pressure — just like a well-built machine. I've built everything from budget gaming rigs to high-end workstations, small form factor builds, home media servers, and NAS storage systems. Every build gets the same attention — clean cable management, proper thermal paste application, BIOS configuration, and a full stress test before it leaves my hands.

Custom PC Builds

Hand-assembled, stress-tested, and built to last. Gaming rigs, workstations, home theater PCs, small form factor builds, and home servers — every single one gets the same attention to detail.

What's Included

Every build — regardless of tier — includes the following:

Full hardware assembly and cable management
Thermal paste application and cooler mounting
BIOS setup — XMP/EXPO memory configuration and boot order
Windows 11 installation and driver setup
Full stress test before pickup
Parts consultation — free with any build

High-End / Enthusiast builds additionally include:

Fan curve tuning for multi-fan configurations
BIOS-level RGB/ARGB sync across multiple headers
PCIe bifurcation and other advanced BIOS configuration
RGB sync is configured at the BIOS level only. You handle software-based lighting control (iCUE, Armory Crate, Signal RGB, etc.). You provide the Windows license. Parts are not included — you source them, or I can advise. AIO liquid cooler installation is available. Custom water cooling loops are not offered.
Every build is stress tested before pickup. If an issue arises that is directly related to the assembly — a loose connection, an improperly seated component, or something overlooked during the build — I'll make it right at no charge. This does not cover software issues, driver conflicts, Windows updates, components you install, or hardware failure unrelated to the build. Build support is included for 30 days after pickup. After that, I encourage you to reach out — additional support options are always available.
How It Works

Every project is different. Here are the three ways we can work together:

Bring your own parts — You source everything. I assemble, configure, test, and hand it back ready to use. You stay in full control of the parts budget.
Want help choosing? — We go through your build together, I put together a parts list tailored to your budget and use case, and you purchase the parts yourself. Free with any build.
Build Tiers

Standard Build — Full assembly, cable management, OS and driver installation, BIOS setup, and stress test. The right choice for most builds.

High-End / Enthusiast Build — Everything in a standard build, plus the added complexity of any of the following: small form factor cases, 4+ storage drives, 240mm+ AIO installation, 6+ case fans with BIOS-based sync and curve configuration, or advanced BIOS configuration such as PCIe bifurcation.

Upgrades & Component Swaps

Whether it's a simple RAM upgrade or a full GPU swap, every job is priced fairly and done right. You'll always know the cost before any work begins.

How It Works

Single component swaps are priced per job based on the component type and complexity. Any job involving multiple components or significant disassembly will be quoted individually. If the scope of upgrades reaches the level of a full rebuild, it will be quoted as a full build.

Minor upgrades are priced per component. Some installs require removing other components to gain access (GPU removal to reach an M.2 slot, for example) — this is factored into the quote upfront. Bringing multiple components? We'll put together a custom quote rather than charge per item.

Motherboard replacements require substantial teardown and remounting, but not every job is equivalent to a complete build. Pricing starts at $120 and varies with the case, component access, cooler removal, and cable routing. The final price is quoted before work begins.

NAS & Plex Media Server Builds

Think of it as your own personal Netflix — your entire collection available on any TV, phone, or device in your home. I'll build it, set it up, and hand it back ready to use.

What Is Plex?

Plex is a free media server application that organizes your movies, TV shows, and music and streams them to any device in your home — or anywhere in the world. Once it's set up, it works just like Netflix. Browse your library, hit play, and it streams to your TV, phone, tablet, or computer.

A NAS (Network Attached Storage) is a dedicated storage device that sits on your home network and holds all your media files. Together, a NAS and Plex turn your physical disc collection into a fully searchable, always-available personal streaming library — your own personal Netflix, built from content you already own.

What's Included
Parts consultation and build list
Full hardware assembly
Windows OS installation and configuration
Plex Media Server installation and basic library setup

Media Digitization & Archiving

Turn your physical disc collection into high quality digital files — perfect for loading onto your Plex server or long-term personal archiving.

How It Works

Drop off your discs and a storage device (external hard drive or USB drive) and I'll convert them into high quality digital files you can load directly onto Plex or store for personal archiving. DVDs are converted to standard HD digital files. Blu-rays are converted to high quality files that preserve the full resolution and audio quality of the original disc.

Think of it as building the library for your personal Netflix — once your collection is digitized and loaded into Plex, every movie is available at the tap of a button on any device in your home.

Compatible with Plex, Emby, and Jellyfin

4K Gaming PC

The 4K Powerhouse

Crank up the settings. Get lost in the game. The AMD 9850X3D pairs with the PowerColor Red Devil RX 9070 XT 16GB graphics card to take on even the most demanding games with stunning 4K visuals and high-FPS action. A 360mm all-in-one liquid cooler keeps CPU heat in check when the action heats up.

High-End Gaming & Creator

The Creator Workstation

Give your biggest ideas room to grow. At the heart of The Creator Workstation is a massive 8TB Samsung 9100 PRO Gen 5 NVMe SSD—room for huge video projects, RAW photo libraries, and creative assets, with vastly faster access than a traditional mechanical hard drive.

The Intel Core Ultra 9 285K pairs with a ZOTAC NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti dedicated graphics card to tackle demanding creative workloads and deliver serious gaming capability when the work is done. An ASUS ProArt motherboard brings the build’s creator-focused foundation together, while the massive ProArt LC 420 all-in-one liquid cooler manages CPU heat during sustained workloads.

Built-in 10Gb Ethernet brings serious speed beyond the PC itself, helping move massive projects between your workstation and compatible network storage. Spend less time transferring footage and more time bringing your next idea to life.

All housed in the beautiful ProArt PA602 Wood Edition, with its distinctive walnut front—a workstation that looks as considered as the hardware inside.

Backup Server

The Data Vault

You can replace a PC. Your photos, finished projects, and years of work are another story. The Data Vault was built to give those files a dedicated home for backups.

Six WD Red Plus hard drives provide 24TB of raw storage capacity, while Intel Xeon processing and ECC RAM—which helps detect and correct memory errors—support a system designed around data integrity. TrueNAS SCALE brings it together with tools to manage storage and scheduled backups.

Packed into the compact, wood-accented JONSBO N4 case, The Data Vault shows that a serious backup system doesn’t have to take over your workspace. We’ll help you plan one around what you need to protect, how much room you need, and how you want your backups to work.

Proxmox Virtualization Server

The Nerve Center

The power behind everything you do. The Nerve Center brings six blazing-fast NVMe SSDs together for an extraordinary 18TB of raw storage capacity—a system built to handle far more than everyday file storage.

Four 4TB Crucial T710 drives and two 1TB Crucial T705 drives provide room for an extensive movie collection, growing business files, and demanding virtual machines. This is an entirely solid-state storage setup, combining substantial capacity with the responsive access that makes NVMe storage so impressive.

An Intel Core Ultra 7 265K and 32GB of DDR5 RAM power the system, while Proxmox lets one physical PC run multiple independent virtual computers and services. An ASUS Hyper M.2 expansion card helps make the six-drive configuration possible, bringing the storage ambitions of this build to life.

Finished in the wood-accented Corsair 2500X, The Nerve Center puts serious infrastructure into a case worthy of being on display. It’s a showcase of what thoughtful component selection can accomplish when a build is designed around everything you need it to do.

Video Encoding & Content Creation

The Media Forge

Create more. Spend less time waiting. The Media Forge’s Intel Core i7 14700K pairs with an Onix Odyssey Intel Arc B580 graphics card selected for accelerated video encoding. Its AV1 support helps turn large videos into smaller files while keeping picture quality high—making finished projects easier to store and share.

For content creators and media enthusiasts alike, every component has a purpose. Tell us what you create, and we’ll help design a PC around your workflow, priorities, and budget.
