Mining itself is a fools errand with the extreme high difficulty and $4 dollar per btc. Unless you can run clusters of videocards or fpga, AND you have free electricity. And even then, the initial investment required is huge.

Not a fools errand: current snapshot of miners:
Totals    31.93 GH/s       15150 W    ฿ 19.03 ($79.91) / day   (after electricity)
