Meet the HL15 Beast — the 5U storage monster built from community feedback and engineered for creators, homelabbers, and power users who refuse to hit limits. If you’ve been searching for the ultimate AI workstation, virtualization server, or GPU-accelerated #homelab , this deep-dive shows exactly how the Beast redefines what a 15-bay platform can do. In this video, Zack Perry from 45HomeLab breaks down the HL15 Beast’s expanded chassis, massive airflow upgrades, E-ATX support, caddiless SSD tier, and full 16-inch GPU clearance — perfect for cards like the Zotac #rtx5090 . We also compare the #asus #proart X870E vs #asrock ROMED8-2T, giving you a clear look at #ryzen7 AMD vs EPYC SP3 performance for workloads like Proxmox, ZFS, #Blender, Stable Diffusion, Plex, Frigate NVR, content creation, #ai and more. Whether you’re building a hybrid gaming/editing rig, a multi-role media server, or a compute node with serious RAM and PCIe expansion, the HL15 Beast delivers the size, cooling headroom, and component flexibility you’ve been asking for.
