Since you can't mine Bitcoin with them, you might get better suggestions at the Alt-Mining section

Quite a few years ago I worked at a very very large company.
A clean out of a couple of data centres happened, the project manager complained about e-waste cost.
I said I would clean out both data centres after work and ended up with several racks worth of stuff in my house...

I am running USB stick miners on USB hubs on Raspberry Pis. No problem there except I'm not making much.
I have a GPU rig like you see everywhere.

I tried mining alt coins on one of the lower power servers with only 8 or 16Gb RAM and a few Xeons.
Seems to be mostly idle and not worth it.

I have  a E7000 with 24 blades with 192Gb RAM on most blades, 64Gb RAM on others and 12 core Xeons in each blade..
So I think I did some math years ago and it came to about to at least three quarters of a Tb of RAM.

I have 240 Volts and 32 Amp and 16 Amp sockets.  

I have a few machines with just 144Gb RAM and a few Xeons...

What to do with all this power ...Huh Run virtual machines and then run multiple miners on each..??
Is there a non ASIC/GPU alt coin that would be useful to have that much power and RAM?

Should I just Fleabay the lot...Huh
