I think instinctually it feels like 1U is what you should buy if you don’t need top of the line. That was my assumption as a non-hardware guy considering a home rack. I changed my mind once I found out about the noise issue.

For home use servers, if you want 1U form factor, you can take a look at Dell's shallow 1U servers. They're pretty modestly powered but small, I think relatively silent and easy to maintain. Higher end servers have some fun features like advanced BMCs and such, but they come with relevant price tags, power consumption and noise. You can also look at SME tower servers.
