I administer a dedicate server 'farm', around 50 high-end dedicated servers, i7 2600k / i7 3930k processors, no GPU cards (integrated only).
Current CPU usage is 1%, i have the permission to use the cpu power as i please as long as the sites hosted on these servers stay up and running.
Electricity will not be charged any higher that it is now, even if all the CPUs run at 95%.
How much can these 50 servers make a month mining litcoins ? bitcoins ?

It's pointless either way, but slightly better with LTC.

You'll only get anything with ltc because the difficulty is quite low. Don't have the numbers in front of me but its clear regardless that ltc will be the better choice.

If you mine BTC you make almost nothing. With litecoin you should be able to make something.

One more noob question not related to the original post, what stops rogue bot herders from mining from hundreds of thousands infected servers ?

.....5.81536395189BTC
 Mr.Spock It seems? Why the precision? Why not round it off at the 8 digits that bitcoin clients are limited to? ... |

why not run both? doesnt ltc run off cpu? so you could just have the cpu and gpu going at the same time i feel like.

If it really won't cost you anything more to run the CPUs at 100%, you may as well mine litecoins and exchange them for BTC (or USD) if that's what you want. Be careful with the memory though... mining litecoins uses a lot more memory than mining bitcoins. why not run both? doesnt ltc run off cpu? so you could just have the cpu and gpu going at the same time i feel like.
I administer a dedicate server 'farm', around 50 high-end dedicated servers, i7 2600k / i7 3930k processors, no GPU cards (integrated only).
(I don't think integrated graphics supports OpenCL) |

Heh! Reading down this thread I missed the age of it, 3 BTC a month out of a few i7s, what crack is that guy on???
However, in terms of $$$ if cashed right away, you might actually do "better" nowadays on XPM I wanna say you can get at least one a day per i7 and they're worth a couple of bucks so $200 a day, vs $200 a month at what the BTC prices were like then.
However, still not sure that pays for the electricity.
Since 2012, I wanna say the middle of 2013 sometime, there was an Open CL driver released for some of the intel HD graphics, this may mean scrypt performance is much improved, but still you may find the CPU coins more profitable. Although depending on how much CPU time the scrypt implementation steals you might be able to do both.
