Just gotten into the Bitcoin mining game about 2 weeks back and have obviously missed the high times of the coin (they'll be back, I can feel it!) but I find the whole concept very intriguing.
Spent about 800 for my rig (no open frame case or build into a shopping basket, not that there's anything wrong with that
just wasn't an option here). 2x 5830 + 2x 5850, still waiting for the 5850's to arrive so right now I've been mining with ~640 mh/s for a couple of days and I already am at a total of ~3.5 BCs. 
Did a lot of research until I considered building a rig of my own and for me it's not about the money (or breaking even anytime soon), well of course it is too but mainly the journey is its own reward building a rig generating currency. I wouldn't complain though if rates were going back up there to the $30 mark.
