HP OMEN MAX 45L Shadow Black
A 12-core Ryzen 9 9900X3D (5.5 GHz boost) and an RTX 5090 with 32 GB GDDR7 deliver elite rendering and gaming, managed by a 360 mm RGB AIO inside a Shadow Black mid-tower. 128 GB of DDR5 and an 8 TB NVMe SSD load massive projects instantly, while the 1200 W PSU and Wi‑Fi 7 provide headroom for heavy, sustained workloads. This tower is best for 8K video editors and AI researchers who need workstation‑grade memory, storage, and GPU power in a professionally upgraded, no‑build‑required system.

The 30-Second Version
8TB of NVMe storage and 128GB of RAM put this PC in the absolute top tier—you won't find a pre-built with more headroom. The RTX 5090 and Ryzen 9 9900X3D mean 4K gaming and heavy multitasking are effortless. At $8,040, it's a serious investment, but one that will stay relevant for years.
Overview
Let's cut to the chase: this HP OMEN MAX 45L packs 8TB of NVMe storage and 128GB of DDR5 RAM, both in the top percentile of our database. The RTX 5090 with 32GB GDDR7 and a Ryzen 9 9900X3D 12-core chip push it into leading territory for gaming, workstation, and creator tasks. In our scoring, it hits perfect marks for gaming (100/100) and damn near perfect for workstation (98.6) and creator (94.1) workloads. But all that power comes in a package that takes 'mid-tower' as a suggestion—this thing is huge, and its compactness score limps in at 45.1.
Performance
The star of the show is the RTX 5090. With 32GB of GDDR7, it sits in the 90th percentile among all GPUs in our database, meaning only a handful of current-gen cards can beat it. Paired with the Ryzen 9 9900X3D and its 128MB of 3D V-Cache, the CPU lands in the 92nd percentile, demolishing games that love extra cache and chewing through rendering tasks like a hot knife through butter. The 128GB RAM config is one of the highest we've seen—only a few workstation-class systems surpass it—while the 8TB SSD tops our charts at the 100th percentile for storage capacity. Real-world, you're looking at a machine that loads your entire Steam library in a blink and can run multiple VMs alongside a 4K game without breaking a sweat. HP has also thrown in a 360mm AIO to keep the 12-core chip under control, and the 1200W PSU leaves headroom for future upgrades.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- 8TB NVMe SSD is best-in-class (100th percentile) 100th
- 128GB DDR5 RAM puts it among the absolute top systems 99th
- RTX 5090 delivers 90th percentile GPU muscle for 4K gaming and AI work 92th
- Ryzen 9 9900X3D gives a big cache advantage in games and productivity 90th
- 360mm AIO and 1200W PSU leave room for overclocking or dual GPUs
Cons
- Chunky case with a weak 45.1 compactness score
- Only 4 reviews so far, so social proof is thin
- At $8,040, it's a massive investment
- Fans can get loud under sustained loads per early buyer feedback
- Unknown weight makes it a pain to plan for or move

Value & Pricing
Pricing is tricky because this configuration is sold by GreatPriceTech on Amazon with a bundled USB hub for $8,040. When you tally up the cost of a DIY build with the same GPU, CPU, 8TB SSD, and 128GB of DDR5, you're flirting with $7,000 just for key parts. That means HP's markup isn't outrageous for a pre-built, especially when you factor in the quality case, 360mm AIO, and Windows 11 Pro. However, it's still a massive outlay, and if you don't need the bleeding-edge storage or that much RAM, you can slash the price by thousands with a more modest config from competitors.
vs Competition
Stack the OMEN against the ASUS ROG GM700TZ-BS978 or Lenovo Legion Tower 5i, and the HP's storage and RAM advantage is glaring. Those machines often top out at 64GB RAM and 4TB of storage, and they'll cost you $2,000 less. The MSI EdgeXpert and CLX SET models can be configured to match, but they rarely ship with 128GB out of the box. Dell's XPS EBT2250 is the closest workstation rival, yet it tends to prioritize ECC memory and Quadro cards over pure gaming punch. The OMEN is in a weird sweet spot: a no-compromise gaming PC that moonlights as a video editing and VM monster. If you don't need 8TB or 128GB, any of those competitors will serve you just as well for less cash.

Common Questions
Q: Can this PC handle 8K video editing?
Absolutely. The RTX 5090's 32GB VRAM and 128GB of system memory let you scrub through 8K RAW timelines smoothly. In our analysis, the storage is top-tier (100th percentile), so even massive project files load instantly.
Q: Does it support Wi-Fi 7 right out of the box?
Yes, it's equipped with Wi-Fi 7 and is backward compatible with older routers. Real-world speeds depend on your network, but the hardware is ready for the next generation.
Q: Is the RAM user-upgradeable beyond 128GB?
Almost certainly not. The four DIMM slots are likely maxed out with 32GB sticks, hitting the AM5 platform's limit. 128GB is already in the 99th percentile, so you won't need more for the foreseeable future.
Who Should Skip This
If you're a competitive esports player at 1080p or 1440p, this system is insane overkill and you'll never tap most of its power. Similarly, if your desk is tight, the OMEN's poor 45.1 compactness score and massive chassis will dominate your space. And if you have a normal budget, $8,040 buys a high-refresh monitor, a killer peripheral setup, and a still-ridiculous PC from a competitor.
Verdict
The HP OMEN MAX 45L is the kind of pre-built that makes you wonder if someone at HP just said 'screw it, put everything in.' It tops our charts in storage and memory, packs a leading GPU, and has more CPU cache than you can shake a stick at. For content creators who also game, or data hoarders who want a local Netflix server, this is a dream machine. Just be ready for the physical and financial footprint.
