Mining isn't profitable anymore unless you have absolutely free electricity or a very efficient miner, like an FPGA or ASIC, or a really efficient GPU.

not even a nickel? FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuuuuu  should have been mining with my own rigs long ago but I though this bitcoin thing was garbage and stuck with liberty reserve and pecunix.

We might get a server in here if we switch to a different sweepstakes provider then mining might be an option.
Nope sorry you've missed the boat on all commodity hardware fronts. Servers are even worse for mining. You'd spend 50 bucks in power for every 50 cents you earn.

Intel Integrated Graphics cards aren't worth mining on.  You will be wasting a lot of electricity trying to mine on them while making hardly even a nickel a day mining for bitcoins.

We have a bunch of these and they are on but screensavered most of the day. I know they will suck for mining but since they are already on while waiting for customers I was thinking of some sort of mining with them as they just sit doing nothing until people come in to play video games.

any ideas of the best way to do this? The video games people play are demo.revealmyentries.com not like WoW or battlefield so the computers we have are not very powerful.
