        You can stall as long as you want as long as they owe you and not the other way around.

          I had a friend who finally got around to getting them done after 5 years - he was in the same (assuming they owe you) situation.

              That is one heck of a setup for a lab!

              Did you buy a rack for it, just because? meh - it's only $200 for a rack, why not make it look pretty

              lol

                @Dashrender I couldn't even afford the power bill to run those 2 servers!

                  @Dashrender I personally purchased the servers switch and pdu (mostly ebay) myself and got my employer to purchase the rack since they are always complaining about how unorganized my office is 😉

                    Wait - what? you paid for the hardware? are they going to reimburse you now that you're using it at their office to their benefit?

                      I really like the rack, its on casters so I can roll it where i want it, then roll it out of the way if not using it.

                        @Dashrender I originally purchased it to play with stuff at home, but decided to leave it at the office and use it here for now. I didn't spend very much money, i got the servers for $75/ea.

                                        Funny, just an hour ago I was dishing out some food for the kids and I was touching it and thinking about this very thing. And in my head I heard "but I don't know where his hands have been" but then in head I replied "but you don't know where the plates or forks have been either, so....?"

                                            I have two VM hosts currently, but only one has the free space to take this as a P2V. The software on it isn't supported anymore, and can't be upgraded. It's more or less just a read only type situation.

                                            The last time I kicked off a P2V to took 4 days and eventually failed because we had a power outage right at the end.
