Hey community,
We have a rare opportunity to share with you today, and we don’t see this very often.
One of our customers purchased a fully loaded 45Drives VM8 server back in January 2025 and is no longer in need of it. They’ve asked us to help find it a new home, and we can think of no better place to start than right here.
This unit was originally purchased for $26,797.21 CAD and is now available for $14,000 CAD — that’s nearly half price on a machine that is barely a year and a half old.
Here’s what you’re getting:
Chassis: VM8 Base — Graphite Sandtex, 45Drives logo
Boot Drive: 2 x 250GB SATA 2.5" SSD
OS: Proxmox
Motherboard: ME03-CE0
Processor: EPYC 8124P — 16 Cores / 32 Threads
RAM: 128GB DDR5 RDIMM
Power Supply: 1U Dual Redundant 1350W
HBA: LSI 9600
Network: Dual Port 10Gb/s RJ45
GPU: NVIDIA L4
Drives: 4 x Micron PRO7450 960GB NVMe (MTFDKCB960TFR-1BC1ZABYY)
This is enterprise-grade hardware at a homelab price. The NVIDIA L4 alone makes this a compelling option for anyone running AI inference or GPU workloads locally. Paired with the EPYC 8124P and 128GB DDR5, this thing is an absolute beast.
If you’re interested or have any questions, reach out to me directly at vsolanki@45homelab.com and I’ll connect you with the seller.
First come, first served — this one won’t last long.
