could I use a old server for mining?

[Bagus23]

I have an old HP ProLiant DL360 G4 server, that I was thinking about using for mining.
I wanted to know if it would be possible to use as is (stock).
Hardware specs are:
2x intel xeon 3400dp/2m/800/sl7zd
4GB Ram
Hp 128Mb Battery Backed Write Cache
2x 72.8GB 15000RPM Wide Ultra SCSI

not sure what else is in there
currently installed OS is Windows Server 2003

Could anyone let me know if i would need some different hardware installed into it or might it work as is?

yes and no, depend from what you looking for. for fun only or to be serious miner.

Just user the server as a server. It'll always be good for that.

Optionally, use is as a desktop.

Go ahead, plug in your server and mine away. Every little bit helps to strengthen the bitcoin blockchain. Don't worry about the money, easy come, easy go.

if you really must mine something,  buy a u2 antminer for ~20 and plug it into that server. you'll still lose money on electricity and hardware cost, but you'll have way more hashing power

+1.
If anyone want to try mining for fun, you could just buy a USB miner, and have fun solo-mining.

Step away from the crackpipe. Bitcoin mining years ago with cpu is ok, not today.

[DRZoidberg]

Definitely you could use it..but you can only mine on CPU as GPU very out-dated. CPU miners now are BitMonero, FantomCoin (which support Merged mining-you can mine ByteCoin+FantomCoin for example).. 

[monim1]

Yes you could. But the least powerful category of bitcoin mining hardware is using CPU. Theoretically, you could use your computer’s CPU to mine for bitcoins, but in practice, this is so slow by today’s standards that there isn’t any point.Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs) are specifically designed to do just one thing: mine bitcoins at mind-crushing speeds, with relatively low power consumption. So think about it.

You can use anything you want for mining but it will never bring you any result

[dogeunion]

I want to use the CPU excavation should be. But it's hard to get electricity.

[Nathan101]

Yes you could. But won't be able to make profit.
I think it would be better to join a pool to start mining.
