for what purpose ?

[balanghai]

You can find a lot at ebay and craigslist but make sure you check the power consumption of the model.

Altcoin Mining or hosting my server

I would like to recommend dedicated server instead of xen/kvm vps. for better performance.
vps has shared cpu so its not good for cpu mining

I just tried litecoin on Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU X3450  @ 2.67GHz 8core cpu,
here is output

[2013-09-12 19:17:44] 8 miner threads started, using 'scrypt' algorithm.

Which is the cheapest and effective dedicated server?

is cpu mining profitable ?

What? AMD LLANO Could easily hash that at dual core only! Maybe not 64-bit?

centos 64 bit , pooler-cpuminer 2.3.2v, I got max 49khps

[balanghai]

Oh I forgot that LLANO has built-in gpu in the cpu chip. That's why it hashes a little bit higher in scrypt

[sampathneo]

do you know hash rate of "GTX650TI 1GB GDDR5/GV-N65TOC-1GI GIGA-BYTE" GPU ?
