Can I mine with CPU without GPU?
I can buy some servers for cheap
2 CPU Xeon E5-2683v3 14 cores (28 total cores)
Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard 64bit
[100 Mb/s flat connection]
32 GB Ram.
Is there a way to know how many GH/s ?

There is close to zero revenue from mining Bitcoin with PC hardware.
It is not a wise idea.

Bitcoin mining today is done with ASIC hardware, like for example Bitmain Antminer S9, Canaan AvalonMiner 741, Ebit E9, ...

Fine let's say I can get 10 of the linked hardware for free, can I get a good ammount of money? And don't pay bills and such.
What if I would mine ETH?

no coin using SHA256 is worth mining on CPUs or GPUs.
For CPU and GPU mining try the Altcoin section.

LOL are you going to steal that hardware haha. I am not quite sure for btc but you can try some other altcoins and see what the profit will be. Since you are going to steal and not pay electricity I see no problem in mining what every you like.

but will there be a steady income from the machines?
I think 5$ an hour from every machine should do..

 A more realistic goal on CPU mining would be to achieve $2-3 dollars A DAY per CPU, and that is only possible due to the major price runup Monero has had the last few days and you need either a VERY high-end many-core CPU or a very recent high-end multi-core CPU to have a chance at that.
 Then you have to subtract the cost of the electric they use (14 core Xeons are quite power hungry as I recall).

 For reference, even with the recent MAJOR profitability increases in most coins, my highest-income rigs with 3 x GTX1070 GPUs pull in very close to $1/hour.


I'm no longer legendary just in my own mind!
