any other thoughts?

Get an Xbox 360 cheap with them going out. Trade games. Keep mining scrypt.

Nah actually I leave it mining over night and if I wake up to a block I'll play games all day.
That is one tremendous if.  Ten million mornings says your gaming days are over on that rig.
If you are solo mining on one video card, then stop.  Join a pool and actually get something in return for your shares/time/effort.
Obviously I'm not mining BTC, scrypt is a much better target for GPUs since ages ago.  Have solo mined just under $1k in the last month.

I bought my first good GPU with the idea that Bitcoin would subsidize (and eventually pay for) the cost of the card. When I am not playing games, I earn money. I only lose about $0.40/hr by playing games.

Just think about how much each hour of gaming is costing you  Cheesy

Nah actually I leave it mining over night and if I wake up to a block I'll play games all day.  Well, unless I'm working.

Purposely misspelling words on a global board is not cute. It limits your potential audience and may limit the feedback that you are asking for.
