Here is the scenario, I'm solo mining with bitcoin qt and I manage to mine a block:
To which address do the coins go?  
Is it to one of my existing addresses or to the an address in my keypool?  
If I mine another block will it be sent to the same address?

It will get sent to your wallet address

It will be sent to a new address, a different one each time.

Where "new" does mean it's taken from the key pool.

Mined coins go to buying more mining hardware. Feed the beast don't you understand this is the ultimate example of diminishing returns. That's where my coins go.
