> I'm also confused why this is 12U. My whole rig is 4u.

I imagine that's because they are buying a single SKU for the shell/case. I imagine their answer to your question would be: In order to keep prices low and quality high, we don't offer any customization to the server dimensions

That's just such a massively oversized server for the number of gpus. It's not like they're doing anything special either. I can buy an appropriately sized supermicro chassis myself and throw some cards in it. They're really not adding enough value add to overspend on anything.
