Lyon Solutions builds the hardware other shops won't quote. Custom gaming rigs, locally hosted game servers you actually own, and one-off machines and parts fabricated from your idea — specced, built, tested, and handed over working.
Most shops do one of these. Lyon Solutions does all three, which means a project can start as a PC build and end as a rack, a server, and a printed enclosure — without handing you off to anyone.
Built to your resolution, refresh rate, and budget — not to a store's margin.
Dedicated servers on real hardware, hosted locally — no per-player rental pricing.
If you can describe the thing you need, it can get built. That's the whole pitch.
Every build starts with a conversation about what you play, what monitor you own, and what you want the machine to still be doing in three years. From there the parts list is built backwards from the target frame rate — no padded GPU on a 1080p display, no bottlenecked CPU on a flagship card.
You can supply your own parts, or have them sourced at cost so you see exactly where the money went. Either way the build gets assembled clean, tuned in BIOS, stress-tested, and handed over with the benchmark numbers it was promised to hit.
Spec my buildRented game hosting charges per player slot, locks down the config, and holds your world files hostage. A locally hosted server flips that: the box lives with you (or here), the mods are whatever you want, and the save data is yours to walk away with.
Lyon Solutions specs the machine, installs and hardens the server software, wires up backups, and sets you up with admin tools. Take it fully managed with ongoing updates and monitoring, or have it built, documented, and handed over for you to run.
Plan a serverThis is the part of Lyon Solutions that doesn't fit a catalog. A bracket that doesn't exist. An enclosure for a board nobody makes a case for. A rack for equipment that was never meant to be racked. A prototype you need in your hands before you can tell whether it works.
It starts with a sketch or a description, moves to a measured spec, gets printed or assembled, then iterates until it's right. Once a design is proven, small-batch runs are straightforward.
Pitch a projectA PC, a server, or a part that doesn't exist yet — the path from idea to working hardware is the same.
You describe the goal — the games, the playercount, the problem, or the part.
A written parts list or design spec with real numbers and a fixed price.
Assembly, printing, install, and configuration — with progress photos.
Burn-in, benchmarks, fit checks, and load testing before anything ships.
Delivered working and documented, with support after you have it.
Either way works. Hand over a parts list and a box of components, or have everything sourced at cost and billed separately from labor — so you can see exactly what you paid for hardware versus the build.
The server runs on real hardware that you own, or that's hosted here locally — not a rented slot on a shared provider. No per-player pricing, full mod and config control, and the world files stay yours. If you ever want to move it, you take the drive.
That's the point of the custom hardware side. Bring a concept, a sketch, or a problem, and it comes back as a measured spec, a printed prototype, and then a finished unit. If it turns out not to be buildable at a sane cost, you'll hear that before any money changes hands.
Component manufacturer warranties stay registered in your name — you're never locked into going through us for an RMA. Build workmanship is covered for 12 months, and support questions after handoff are free.
Gaming PCs and custom hardware are built locally in the Tri-Cities, WA area and can ship. Game server setup, configuration, and management can be handled remotely anywhere.
A standard PC build is typically under a week once parts are in hand, plus burn-in. Server setups depend on mod complexity. Custom fabrication depends on how many iterations the design needs — you'll get a timeline with the quote, not after.
Whether it's a full parts list or a half-formed idea, send it over. You'll get an honest answer about what it takes, what it costs, and whether it's worth doing.
