the decision of 1U vs 2U is largely driven by disk and IO card requirements.
a 1U Intel server can take up to 4 3.5" or 8 2.5" hotswap drives, 2 CPU
sockets (4 to 24 cores total), 18 or 24 dimms, and has 1-2 PCI-E slots
a 2U can take as many as 12 3.5" or 24 2.5" drives, the same CPU/memory,
and typically 4 PCI-E slots, although I've seen more.
3U/4U stuff is generally quad socket and a lot more expensive.
