You might want to try solo mining just some random Alt SHA-256 coins too, I do that some with just one of my miners and every now and then I do get a block, if you watch the random difficulty on some coins you can really up your chances of getting lucky too. I know what you mean when mining for fun solo, feels good to get your own block knowing your the only one that made it happen
