Homelab Hardware Price Trackers
8 Price & Deal Trackers for Homelab & PC Hardware
Every price tracker on the site, in one place. Each one watches a specific hardware category and ranks listings by the metric that actually matters, $/TB, $/GB, $/port, whatever makes an apples-to-apples comparison possible, so you can find the best deal without doing the math yourself. Seven of them pull live listings automatically and refresh every few hours; Solar is a hand-checked catalog, see the FAQ below for how each one works.
For a monthly roll-up of these numbers, see the Homelab Hardware Price Index. For exactly how listings are collected and counted, see how the trackers work.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often are these prices updated?
Seven of the eight trackers pull live listings and refresh automatically every few hours: Disk & SSD from a real-time pricing API that covers several marketplaces, and SFF, RAM, GPU, NAS, Server, and Switch from eBay's own listings API. Solar is the exception, a catalog I check and update by hand, since solar retailers don't offer a listings feed to pull from. Each tracker's card below and its own page are upfront about which kind it is.
Where does the pricing data come from?
The Disk & SSD tracker pulls live listings from a real-time pricing API covering multiple marketplaces. SFF, RAM, GPU, NAS, Server, and Switch pull live listings from eBay's official API, with parts, accessories, and duplicate listings filtered out. Solar is a hand-researched catalog I periodically re-check against retailer pricing myself. Each tracker's page explains its specific sources and methodology in more detail.
What makes the Solar Panel Tracker different from the others?
It's the only tracker that's a hand-checked catalog rather than a live feed, and it also includes benchmarks for professional installation costs, since installers quote whole systems rather than individual SKUs. None of the other trackers need that since they're all DIY/self-install hardware.
Which tracker should I start with?
Whichever matches what you're actually shopping for. Building or upgrading a homelab node points toward the SFF Proxmox Nodes or RAM trackers; adding storage points toward Disk & SSD or NAS Enclosure; running local LLMs points toward the AI GPU tracker; and anything networking-heavy points toward the Network Switch tracker.
