Good day!

So I am very interested in CPU mining. Very focused on PTS and XPM currently. The thing is I have heaps of random CPUs lying around. Even several i7s but nothing to put them in.

What I was wondering is does anyone know of alternative way of making use of such processing power without having to invest in a motherboard?

It seems to me that there must be a way of running/testing processors that doesn't rely upon M/Bs and can be taken advantage of for mining. Its been too long since I've been in the IT industry and my best googling has simply lead to some really stupid questions and some equally stupid answers. I'm beginning to think that this is one of those questions.

Any input? Dumb dog barking up the wrong tree?
