As we all know, GPU mining is much more profitable than CPU mining.
However, let's say I have access to 15 office PCs sitting idle for most of the day.

What coin would you suggest for CPU mining?
Is there any mining SW that could be used to combine their power?
What would you do with such HW?

It is a common myth that Bitcoin is ruled by a majority of miners. This is not true. Bitcoin miners "vote" on the ordering of transactions, but that's all they do. They can't vote to change the network rules.

I often question why some of these idled data centers have not entered into CPU mining, many of the servers have 8 or more CPU's in each rack computer. Never mind the power required but if they are sitting idled, why not?

Should I install the xmrig to each PC or should I try to make one "superPC" out of them?

Because it wouldn't make a significant amount of money for the time, hassle, and added mileage on the equipment.
