At 45HomeLab we know homelabbers have a strong vision of the infrastructure they want. But here's the problem: today's home storage offerings are too underpowered for homelab use. And, their software platform is locked down which prevents you from doing what you want to. On the other hand, enterprise solutions are just too big and expensive. We understand how frustrating this is, which is why we've created the 45HomeLab product line. It is big, strong, fast, while also being open and flexible so you can easily modify, upgrade, and repair it, all at a price that makes sense for a power homelab user.

Introducing the New

Linux PC’s from 45HomeLab

Home Client

The Home Client is a small-form-factor personal computer. The Home Client is manufactured in North America from aerospace-grade aluminum. It has an extremely small footprint, making it perfect to stick on a TV stand or fit onto a desk. It is fanless, so it will remain quiet and unobtrusive while staying in a sleek, low profile.

Home Workstation

The Home workstation is designed to be quiet and compact while still offering a full PC experience. Its dual chamber design allows the Home Workstation a full-sized GPU slot. Other than CPU fan (and GPU fan if you choose), the home workstation does not require additional cooling, keeping noise low.
