Any feedback welcomed.

You
can mine with some Xeon CPUs, but you'll probably just about cover your electricity costs.
I sometimes run NiceHash as part of a stress test on any new/used servers that I get on my bench before I configure them for the customer. About 6 months ago I had a Gen8 HP ProLiant DL380p in my workshop, with twin Xeon E5-2670 CPUs (2.60GHz, 32 virtual cores, 128GB RAM). If I recall correctly, it managed about 80p per day, probably only slightly more than it cost to run. Still, it would've cost me the same to run while stress testing it using other methods, so for me it was still worthwhile. It wouldn't be worthwhile running a server like that purely for mining though.
