Holy hell that is an expensive toilet seat lol.
$499 - $1500
Ours was $150 second hand.
Also it washes your ass for you. That is priceless.Eww second hand....
Do you change your toilet and or seat when you move into an apartment or house? Do you not go in a public restroom?

I have a few servers that are now available for whatever I want, since I've virtualized them to our vSphere 6.5 environment. We currently have a single SAN unit for our vm datastore which connects to two switches and then to three virtual hosts (SAM's Inverted Pyramid of Doom thing).
Anyway, I am trying to experiment with a different design as well as set up a new test environment. I want to install Hyper-V 2016 Server on my most powerful spare server, then I want to use my other two servers as mirrored or a distributed storage cluster.
I am not 100% on what is best practice on how exactly to set this up, so I'm hoping for some input. I mean, I'm a sysadmin at my job, so I understand how to install and configure stuff.. but I've not set up a completely new environment from scratch before.
Any advice is much appreciated!
SAM has a point (thanks for reference!)
Dave ping me anton AT starwind DOT com and I'll get you in touch with engineers who could help. You're welcomed to proceed with either commercial or a free version (no time bombs, no capacity or feature limits there).

Good luck
Sure, I may do that if I need help. I really only plan to use this as a lab + backup testing environment at work, so I would use the free version.. not sure what the difference is though.
Mostly support.
Support, UI and different "flavors" of support:

When I moved into our house, yes I changed all of the seats so they were new. A $40/per replacement.
As for replacing the bowl, no, not unless it's nasty.
I get the point you're making as well, but I try to plan my life around clean bathrooms.

It never even occurred to me that someone would do this.

I do hope we answered all your major questions before the thread hit the shitter.

The problem with such a business community is that if you ask a question and aren't completely on top of the responses it will just veer off course and circle the drain while people keep talking without your continued input

@jaredbusch oh it hit the shitter all right

@scottalanmiller We have done this with any apartment we rented.
