Hello Everyone, thank you for taking a second to read this! I've got a couple computers laying around that I get free power for so I thought about putting them to work but at the same time I wondered if it's even worth it. The specs are listed below for each one.
PC1: Windows 10 64bit - Intel i5-3570 @ 3.4GHz - NVidia 650Ti - Currently Mining Monero for SupportXMR and gets roughly 300 H/s
PC2: Windows 10 64-Bit - Intel i5-2300 @ 2.8GHz - NVidia GTX 560 - Currently Mining Monero for SupportXMR and gets roughly 150-300 H/s

I've got them both mining Monero with SupportXMR pools using just the "out of the box" settings with no tweaking and will include what they're hashing below.

I'll assume as per a lot of what I'm reading that I'm wasting my time and if I want to get into the coins I should simply buy them or purchase new hardware. I don't believe the hardware I have is completely worthless as I've seen threads of people using it to mine in some instances but the gains aren't much (sub 1,000 a year). I'd just like to find out if the hardware I have could support some farming which may make me some additional income through the year.

I'm mining monero as it's the one I found easiest to understand and the configuration was fairly easy. I'm hoping to get to .300 for the payout on Monero and push to something else if it's more worthwhile. If you got this far, thank you for taking the time to review this and any input would be greatly appreciated.

What i did was... I installed admin mode miner in all computers at my work.. because i have the power to do that. i am the I.t in our company.. Grin

.. but this is not advisable and legal.. so its still in your own risk.
