1U Server Recommendations
A local data center offers 1U for cheaper than a dedicated server with Hetzner. What's the best single-threaded performance I can get with 1U? The budget would be around $1000 USD (referbished). Any help would be greatly appreciated.

well
It depends on a lot of factors
Like what? I apologize for the lack of context.
I’m no self hoster so I’m not very knowledgable but:
1U, afaik, makes it far more limited when it comes to cooling, which means you may struggle cooling your CPU.
Also in terms of cpu, Ryzen CPUs (especially the likes of the 7950X and 9000 series) are VERY good for mc
Depending on what you are trying to do, you can build a 1U Ryzen machine or EPYC machine, or you can go for a Xeon 6144/Xeon E2488.
For game hosting, the E2488 or a Ryzen would be your best bet.
