The Only Servers in the World Jointly Engineered and Validated Specifically for Unraid
The 45HomeLab and Unraid teams jointly select, stress-test, and validate every component to ensure seamless performance with Unraid OS. The result is a platform that makes building and running your homelab easier, more reliable, and more powerful than ever.
What's Inside & Why
| Intel i7-14700 with Integrated GPU | The Intel i7-14700 brings 20 cores and 28 threads, enough to run transcoding, VMs, and a stack of Docker containers without breaking a sweat. The integrated iGPU handles hardware accelerated video transcoding on its own, so there's no need for a dedicated graphics card. One less component in a PCIe slot, one less thing drawing power. |
| Arctic P12 Pro Fans | Quiet enough to run in your home or office, enough airflow to keep everything cool under maximum load. |
| Upgraded CPU Cooling | A Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 Mini keeps the i7-14700 running at full speed under maximum load, no thermal throttling, no performance drop-off. |
| Intel X550-T2—Dual 10GbE NIC | A Intel X550-T2 dual 10GbE NIC for fast file transfers over standard RJ45, just plug in with Cat6 cabling, no fiber or SFP+ adapters needed. The motherboard also provides two onboard 2.5GbE for general network access and a dedicated IPMI port for out of band remote management. We wanted to bring as much flexibility to the networking connections as possible. |
| LSI 9400 HBA Controller | One of the most trusted storage controllers in the Unraid community, with 12Gb/s SAS speeds and the bandwidth to keep up with every drive in the chassis. |
| Corsair RM1000x Power Supply | A fully modular, 1000W, 80+ Gold rated PSU. Enough power for a full chassis of drives, with headroom to spare if you decide to add a dedicated GPU or other hardware down the line. |
| 16GB DDR4 ECC UDIMM | ECC memory catches and corrects single-bit errors before they become data corruption. When you're storing things that matter, photos, documents, and backups. This is the kind of quiet reliability that makes a difference. |
| 1TB NVMe Boot Drive | A 1TB Kingston NV2 NVMe boot drive. Unraid OS on fast, reliable, dedicated solid-state storage, separate from your array and cache pool. No SD card, no USB stick. |
| Lifetime Unraid License Included | A lifetime Unraid license is included with every X15. That’s a $249 value, in the box. No subscription, no renewal fee, no expiration. |
Got questions? We've got answers.
The X15 isn’t designed to be the lowest-cost option. It’s built for people who value long-term durability, serviceability, and peace of mind. Each system is built with industrial-grade materials, assembled and tested in North America, and specifically validated for Unraid OS.
45HomeLab manufactures in smaller batches and prioritize fair wages and quality over mass production. There are absolutely more affordable options that can get the job done, but the X15 is for those who want something built to last, easy to maintain, and engineered to work right from day one.
Your $99 deposit is fully refundable, no questions asked. Once placed, you'll be notified by email when units are ready to configure and order. Deposits are honored first come, first served. The earlier you reserve, the sooner you'll get your X15.
To request a refund, email [email protected] using the same email address you used to place your deposit.
Shipping begins mid to late May 2026. Deposit holders ship first, in the order deposits were received. When final orders open, you'll get an email with a link to configure your unit — choose your chassis color, add upgrades, and apply your $99 deposit toward the purchase price at checkout.
The expected final sale price of the X15 with 16GB of memory will start at $2,999 USD. Pre-order volume will help determine final pricing, as components will be ordered based on demand. Our goal is to hold this $2,999 price point despite ongoing increases in electronic component costs, and we will do our best to achieve this.
Any applicable taxes, duties, or import fees are the buyer's responsibility. Orders within the US and Canada ship domestically, so duties don't apply in those regions.
