I have a bit of hardware I have laying around not being used, and I've been thinking about getting it set up to do some crypto mining on a small scale. Only one has a halfway decent GPU, but they have decent processing power. I was using them for VM hosts for self training, but I think I've learned as much as I can for now in that area. I was wondering what you think of what I could do with these:
Pentium G3220 & Geforce GT730 (old HTPC, ran Netflix and Hulu until I replaced it with FireTV a year ago)
Core i7 4930k & Geforce G210 (old VMWare host for VPC training)
Core i7 4790k using integrated GPU (old MB and proc)
Ryzen 7 1700X & Geforce 8400GS (Hyper-V host for MCSE training)
I also have an old Core i5 2500k for my storage server, but I could potentially set up a VM to run 2 cores for low level mining, since the processor doesn't get much use serving out files and iscsi.
That's a total of 22 possible CPU cores doing mining. Could that pay enough for the power to run them at $0.11 per kWh?
