Still looking for answers, thanks everyone!

Why wouldn't you if you have free power? If you simply make sure your rig doesn't overheat, every $ is profit ( if you weren't going to do anything anyway with the pc's.

600 H/s would get you ~ 62$ a month, which could be a lot depending on where you are from. See https://www.cryptocompare.com/mining/calculator/xmr?HashingPower=600&HashingUnit=H%2Fs&PowerConsumption=200&CostPerkWh=0.0

That's ~720$ per year. Might not be much, but depending on the effort you need to put in, it might just be worth it.

Thanks AdolfinWolf, I say that because what I'm wondering is if my hardware is running at its most optimal setting or if I could squeeze more out of it by using a different miner or a different coin. I was hoping to really just have someone say "Yep, that's about the best it can do" or "no, you can improve if you change this and this". Free power makes any penny worth it, I agree. I just can't find a good calculator that addresses hardware as outdated as mine.
