You almost hit the right time to get back Smiley Just missed the 1200 price with a week.
But better late than never - happy mining and Merry Christmas Cheesy

I first started mining back in June of 2011 with a 5830. Soon from my full profits of $15/btc I purchased another 5830. These sat in my rig for another two months hashing away happily and then I kind of just forgot about bitcoins and I left the hashing alone for awhile.
Like many others once the news that bitcoin hit $1000 I started searching desperately for any coins I had mined. No wallet.dat files could be found but a couple of old websites rang a bell, Campbx had just been launched and I think I was a part of their beta so I retrieved my account info and VIOLA! 4.8btc left in that account for over 2 years. I pecked around a little more and found .8 left over in my deepbit pool account!
I cashed out some of my coins and purchased 2x7970s and a 280x which are happily hashing away again with the old 5830s mining for altcoins.
I forgot how much anxiety, fun, and all around great experience bitcoin can be. I'm back and my wife thinks I'm crazier than ever but oh well, here we go!
