I've always enjoyed the Intrex experience here in Raleigh. I find they
are good for last minute small items when you are building boxes.  With proper
planning and experience I find they can be avoided altogether.

My rule of thumb: Linux boxes should be built from pieces or from
white-boxes scoured from www.pricewatch.com, or from boxes borrowed or
taken from refuse heaps, or purchased on ebay.  Get many
boxes so you can think "network" instead of "box". Think grids.

I wouldn't call the realtor :-).
