Don't forget to factor in all the lost business because of people not being able to play games with their video cards chugging away at mining.

go here, look at the hash rate...

https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison

multiply that by the number of cards you have... then go here and fill the info in...

seems like at todays rates you can get about 8 cents a day.

Where are you located?

A 5450 gives you about 15 mhash, don't waste your time with it. You will maybe get ~8BTC month running 30*5450 24/7. If any computer has any of the "popular mining card", use only those computers.

If you have all the computers already, why not just find a used 5870, and replace the cards when you can find someone selling near you, thats wy I asked where you are located...

Definatly will need to use my stealth app or something simular. will run while the pc is idle only, and it will hide the app.
