So I have a guy that wants me to setup a mining rig for primecoin on 50 cpus in his office (he owns the place)
I'm pretty sure they are just basic computers, would it make more sense to join a pool still or just solo mine on all of them?

Depends what kind of CPUs they are. Some might be worth solo mining, others not.

I have a Primecoin cluster. Send me a PM if you want some help to setup. Include specs as well.

50 "Office" CPU's give him only ~5-10 XPM a day. Even if the electricity is free - it's not worth it. |

Im pretty sure pool is better, if you connect only to slow clients, you may get higher stale ratio, worse than paying pool fee |

You can run a two to three days test run to see what can possibly be made when averaged out.

Because I know how much is the profit TODAY from usual office computers. If you tell me what exactly processors installed, I will say the exact number of XPM/day. |

The dual core 1.86 may take a couple of months to get a block, which will be even worse when the difficulty crosses 10. He 'owns' the place - does he also get free wlectricity? Otherwise he will just lose money, unless he holds onto them and beleives they will be worth a lot more in future. But then you can just buy them. |

There is no mining calculator for XPM. This estimate come from my personal statistics. I mine here: http://ypool.net |

I have a guy that wants to mine 1000s of these things a day. Cost and electricity is not an issue at all...I just need to give him some ballpark hardware stats. |

i5 is better then i7 (4 cores have both processors, "virtual" cores of i7 bring in this task a little, but the price is much higher) But the best CPU is FREE CPU (botnet). I think that buing hardware now is stupid idea (CPU and GPU mining) |

I think it impossible. There are only about 14k XPMs available to be mined a day. You need serious mining power to get "1000s of these things a day". Are you sure he has so much funds and electricity to get.. say 10% of the network? BTW, if that would happen he would raise difficulty. |
