Hello Bitcoin Forum!

So to make a long story short, we have an unused Xeon/Quadro workstation that we want to put to good use.

Is there an easy GUI miner that would take advantage of both the CPU and GPU? (the rig also comes packed with 32GB RAM). Anything we can get out of this workstation would be extremely appreciated.

Thanks for your help.

You may want to take a look at my software, Hash Auger https://hashauger.com. It supports both CPU and Nvidia GPU mining and has a Windows GUI.  However, the Quadros may not give you the mining performance you would expect from  workstation-class cards regardless of what software you try to use.  You didn't mention which type of Quadro cards they are, but nearly every cryptomining review I have seen about the Quadro line has been negative due to disappointing hash rates.  If electricity costs are not a concern, then they may be worth trying out as long as the cards are compatible with the Nvidia 9 drivers that most contemporary mining software has been written for.

As for the CPU, you could try to mine one of the Yescrypt variants, Hodl, m7m or some other CPU-only coin instead of Cryptonight to improve your earnings potential. Realistically speaking, however, you probably won't earn more than a dollar a day per CPU (not including electricity costs).  Unfortunately, every time a CPU-only coin increases significantly in value, a GPU miner is released, which pretty much kills CPU mining for that coin regardless of how fast the processor is.
