For 1U I'd generally just opt for a rented managed server unless I had a really compelling reason for why I wanted to use specifically my own hardware (e.g. I needed something very esotheric).

Yes I had something very esoteric. I had a Sun SPARC first and then later a Mac mini converted to 1U.

The SPARC was slower and had less memory than the first raspberry pi ;) yes that was a while ago. The Mac mini was obviously later.
