GPU mining is worthless ASICS are the future.
Problem with the GPU is it heats up my entire room. So I ordered a Raspberry Pi to run ASIC with.
Can you explain further? I'd like to learn how that would work.
Have you got your ASIC yet?

He is gonna use the raspberry pi to control the ASIC so instead of having to keep his desktop on all the time while mining, he can just have the raspberry pi running.

Still running my GPU's and getting a whole bunch more soon 
Are you doing BTC or alt-coins? If BTC continues to rise in difficulty at current speed, it would take a really long time to break even for newly purchased GPUs.
Running ATI 7850. My monthly outlook was holding at 0.35 btc until just recently dropped to 0.22 btc. Is this because of the ASICs slowly coming online? Or did BTC Guild hiccup?
I found that on the PPS rate btc guild had a fairly low payment amount. I have several other mining pools that I use in which pay more if you are interested. I just recently switched to PPLNS mining pool and I find it pays substantially more than the PPS at btc guild.

I am mining with 7870xt and 6670, coming to about 670 Mh/s together, still earning money.
I currently gpu mine with 1 HD 7950. It brings roughly .02 BTC a day. I have the additional 4 HD 7950s and motherboard for the additional ones. I've been waiting for my CPU to come in since May 22nd though.
I have been mining now for a month with 2 x 9750 on Slush's pool.
Although the total has rate of the pool has increased and so the difficulty, my reward per day has increased.
Why?
Because the total has rate of the pool has increased, the pools luck and the number of blocks found per day, has increased. Although my hash rate percentage of the pool has decreased, and thus the reward per block found has decreased, I get more rewards per day due to the higher number of blocks found. I am thus getting a higher return per day.
I am not giving up on mining with a GPU. Once I can not keep up with the total pool hash rate, I am going to switch over to alternative coins.
I am not sure about the 8 minutes. The average time to find a block on Slush's pool is 1 hour. This was averaged over a day, over a period of 3 days, with an average of 17 blocks found per day.

Good spot, I am also on slushs pool and noticed the reward per day was slighter higher recently
I get electric costs included in the rent in my office space and a few months back my friend convinced me to put a GPU ring in there..the heat and the noise was unbearable at first
Gradually got used to it and got a rig of my own...One rig turned into 2 and quickly turned into several more, although they are still turning over BTC I think I'm realising this is the point to stop GPU mining for bitcoin and either turn them over to litecoin or reinvest in ASICs
Lol btw my landlord has certainly noticed the increase in the rent, he keeps asking to have a look in my office everytime I bump into him

I'm hoping to setup a script at my office to run CPU miners on the weekends. That's not illegal, right? 
im hoping to set up a load of gpu miners
Still running my GPU's and getting a whole bunch more soon
Litecoins are rockin the GPU's right now.
I still mine with my 5xxx cards, about the same proftiblity as it always has been.
My leccy's free so I'll be GPU mining for the forseeable....
I'm still GPU mining .. but I switched to LTC a while back.
Yes, it is hard to say whether it will be worth it or not. According to the calculators out there, for a couple months it will be profitable for myself. I'm looking into alternative cryptocoins in the event that one of them takes off.
I found the whole experience of first upgrading GPU in the desktop, than assembling first ever PC with 3 GPU, exploring linux for the first time probably as much rewarding as few coins I will be able to main before difficulty makes it uneconomical.
