Yeah, I don't honestly know much about the hardware side of things, nor the business/economic rationale for why one would prefer an Oxide rack over a more conventional setup, but reading through their posts, what they've done is just singularly so impressive that I really, really, really want them to succeed. I've worked in startups most of my life, but it's tough feeling like you've got to take a bunch of shortcuts ("MVP"-it before you run out of runway, etc. etc.), so to see a startup just put a ton of real engineering prowess into a great product is a sight to behold. Also, while there are obviously amazing products out there in the world, it's so often a "race to the bottom" that it feels like decently made products are just prohibitively expensive. I'm really into antique espresso machines, and there is a reason that seeing rebuilds of beautiful old lever espresso machines get so many oohs and ahhs online - they truly don't make them like they used to, so it's so cool to see these beasts brought back to life. For some reason I have a similar feeling looking at these Oxide racks - they just didn't cut corners to build an awesome machine. Again, not qualified to say whether that makes economic sense long term, but it's still a thing of beauty regardless.
