I have a HP Dl380 & DL360 along with a couple of 2GHz Pentium 4 Dell.  Is there an effective way to setup a mining farm with these machines?

Thanks!
Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

Simple answer: no. You'll spend way way way more in electricity than you'll ever generate with CPU's since graphics cards can do mining calculations much more efficiently.
