We do!

The server hardware we sell has a cloud-like interface. That is, you don't administer individual computers in the rack, you treat it as one big pool of resources that you can use. We handle the details.
I wrote a lengthy comment a few years back that has more detail: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30678324 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30678324
I'm happy to elaborate on this or anything else you're curious about.
> I don't see any way to find the prices or order the hardware itself.
We do not publish pricing, and to place an order, you can contact sales: https://oxide.computer/contact https://oxide.computer/contact
