water closet

Tags: Plumbing
I have a Victorian home and would like to install a water closet. I've found new ones but they were over $800, does anyone know where I might find one a lot cheaper? Does anyone know if I can make one out of a new toilet?

I give up. I always thought a "water closet" aka "WC" was the name the British give to the bathroom/toilet/john. If not that, what's it?

A "water closet" is the name of the old fashioned toilet with the tank mounted on the wall and a pull chain to flush instead of a handle.
