Homelab hardware sizing
Tell us what you want to build.
We’ll size the hardware.
Choose the platforms, services and workloads you actually want to run. We’ll turn them into a practical hardware target — without simply telling you to buy more.
Step 1
What do you want in your HomeLab?
Pick across categories. You do not need to select something from every category.
Hypervisors & Virtualization
Run virtual machines and isolated lab environments.
Storage & NAS
File storage, backups, snapshots and shared storage.
Containers & Orchestration
Host containerized applications or learn orchestration.
Home, Media & Cloud Apps
Common self-hosted applications.
Operating Systems & Infrastructure
Server operating systems and infrastructure labs.
Networking & Security
Routing, firewalling and network experimentation.
Development & Operations
Build, test and observe your own services.
Gaming & AI
Compute-heavy or specialist workloads.
Step 2
Tell us a little more
These values refine the recommendation.
Workloads first. Products second.
SizeMyHomeLab starts with what you want your lab to do. Hardware recommendations come after the sizing, so the goal is to find a system that fits your needs — not to sell the most expensive box.
