Personally, i just have it running on machines i have already and would already be running regardless mostly sitting at idle. As long as it is making more than I am using in power the rest is just a bonus. If it was going to cost me more than i was making i would not do it
That is also my impression. Bad investment to buy PCs just for mining. (Might be a little better with graphic cards, but also not that wonderful). It's only useful if you already own the computer and the machine is already running for whatever reason - then the increased power consumption is (greatly) offset by the mined earnings.
I have recently bought an Intel 2xE5-v1 rack server with 12x disk space, which I was eyeing for quite some time to upgrade my current server. It's doing some ~800H/s. It would have to run for almost a year (10months) to pay itself off - providing both the difficulty rate and XMR exchange rate will stay the same - which they obviously won't. So I'm thinking about skipping the payoff part.

Wow thanks, A pretty bad result here.
I'm making 550h/s with minergates. That's only 0.09675 $ per day. This is crazy low for such insanely huge investment. Why some people still mining crypto coins. And why I'm even here with my empty bank account.
Did you not research this before the purchase?
I started mining on pc's I already had.
Then I researched the best bang for the buck before I bought two open compute servers and bought used cpu's and the cheapest ram I could find.
Ended up being able to match the performance of a dedicated GPU rig at half the price.
Only went with the OC servers because I wanted to mine a cpu mine-able coin.
My OC servers would not do as well on coins that are better for gpu's.
You HAVE to investigate before you spend your money, a lot of people are mining on pc's that they already have and would be on already and thats what I did at the start.
