Too many CPUs, too much RAM, too much power. No GPUs, FPGAs or ASICs

I love those Xeon CPUs they are beasts of their time, I am pretty sure that people are still buying these Xeon builds, I know someone who built his Chia mining rig using Xeon server desktop and it runs very good, start creating some ads on online stores and get rid of them all, if mining is something you are interested in then use the money to buy graphic cards.

You probably won't even be able to mine Monero profitably with CPU's. You should probably sell your little mini-datacenter on feeBay, then use the funds to buy a GPU rig.

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 miner that would be useful to have that much power and RAM?

Should I just Fleabay the lot... Huh
