I have basically this exact set up: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cdxwCiMrpQI

but mining bitcoins is just a waste of time now, far too difficult.

What other cryptocurrency could i mine with this hardware? I was thinking ltc but then i'd need to buy graphics cards and build a new system etc.

What currency would be best using only this hardware? /any other thoughts on the future of mining BTC looking grim.

BTC hardware is only for SHA-256, LTC is scrypt so you can't Smiley..

Go to http://www.coinwarz.com/cryptocurrency/

check "SHA-256", uncheck "Scrypt", click on "Calculate".

There are usually some coins that are more profitable then btc but not by much. And keep in mind that they are not liquid.(no pun intended)

For now, your ASIC would be best to continue to mine Bitcoins while putting online selling it, as for Litecoin I won't advice you to buy GPU and build a new system as people have successfully developed FPGA for Litecoin and soon ASIC will flood the market again.... Your best bet is invest in Bitcoin/ Litecoin
