Ok, first off. I'm new, been reading site all over the web for the last week regarding mining. Trying to learn as much as possible to avoid daft questions here.

So I don't have the money to go out and buy a 10 GPU mining rig or 2 or 3 ASIC miners, but i wanna mine. The general idea and concept of cryptocurrency fascinates me.

From the information I've seen online so far, I know already that even leaving my home PC's on 24/7 will result in nothing (3 PC's and a laptop).

So, my options?

Please, You guys know a lot more about this stuff than a noob like me. Would be great if somebody could point me in the right direction to get my foot on the first step of the ladder. I'm absolutely not ruling out the future possibility of GPU/ASIC rigs in the future.

Fire away on some advice please.... thanks in advance.
