I really wish Oxide had homelab/prosumer grade stuff. I'd be sending them so much money.

I kinda feel we need minicomputers back in this age of computing. Instead of making one giant rack that doesn’t fit through doorways, they should make a 4 ft tall unit that stacks. At least once they’re established enough that they can manage doing small installs instead of full data centers. I’ve looked around and there are tiny forklifts they could use to install 2 at once.

Just the power demands for their full rack exceed capacity for most office spaces.

That and someone needs to make a rack that has a port to plug a glycol line directly into. Doesn’t have to be Oxide, but someone should.
