I first started mining back in June of 2011 with a 5830. Soon from my full profits of $15/btc I purchased another 5830. These sat in my rig for another two months hashing away happily and then I kind of just forgot about bitcoins and I left the hashing alone for awhile.
Like many others once the news that bitcoin hit $1000 I started searching desperately for any coins I had mined. No wallet.dat files could be found but a couple of old websites rang a bell, Campbx had just been launched and I think I was a part of their beta so I retrieved my account info and VIOLA! 4.8btc left in that account for over 2 years. I pecked around a little more and found .8 left over in my deepbit pool account!
I cashed out some of my coins and purchased 2x7970s and a 280x which are happily hashing away again with the old 5830s mining for altcoins.
I forgot how much anxiety, fun, and all around great experience bitcoin can be. I'm back and my wife thinks I'm crazier than ever but oh well, here we go!

You almost hit the right time to get back Smiley Just missed the 1200 price with a week.
But better late than never - happy mining and Merry Christmas Cheesy
