If you get your own rack, the burden for everything falls on to you..
You can get your own Connectivity, or use your providers
You can get your own IP range, or use your providers
You can get your own Hardware, or use your providers
You can get your own network hardware, or use your providers
You can come down install the kit yourself when you sell more servers (and probably pay the provider to let you in assuming adequate notification is given), or pay your provider to install it.
You can come down and repair / replace / fix the kit when it breaks (and probably pay the provider to let you in assuming adequate notification is given), or pay your provider to install it.
It's a big step, and not one that suits most people.. you'll invariably find you're better off overall renting kit unless you live locally, can get to the DC quick smart in an emergency, and can afford to have spares to hand for most components / spare live servers to hand.
It's cheaper for a reason.. you're buying the responsibility for the kit back from the provider.. so they are no longer responsible for looking after it (unless you pay them!)
