There are some specialized ones I know of for MacOS hardware, such as
https://macminicolo.net/ and
https://www.macminivault.com/. I don't know if you can BYOD, but I know they rent hardware. It's not really a "1U" generalized experimental space, but it at least lets you have a virtualization platform on dedicated hardware.
I used to operate a "4U" colo, VautledData.com, out of a former AT&T bunker, in Yuma, AZ, but the demand just wasn't there so eventually we repurposed the site as a satellite uplink with a two-story motorized dish antenna.

Are there any providers of 1U personal colos these days?
VMs are neat, but they lack the power to experiment with without
paying an arm and a leg.
I was lucky enough to have my 1U hosted by Dave Rand back in the
day.
Thanks.
