Been thinking of setting up my spare PC for mining... not sure if it's worth it though.

If it's a spare and not doing anything else it's worth it.

Gotta be pretty specific with hardware for mining. BTC mining requires specific high hash hardware and LTC based mining works well with very specific graphics cards.

I've an rx480 I'll let go for the going rate of mining cards. Think they're in the avenue of 500ish CAD

Speaking of computer-y stuff. I downloaded the Diablo 3 DLC and bought a mechanical keyboard. It has like 9billion light settings.

One perk of working part time for a tire chain is nabbing some free stuff whenever possible. Grabbed these after they came off a Porsche.

I think I might wait for prices to go down (if that's gonna be anytime soon...)
I've also been waiting to buy more currency but it hasn't gone down enough recently.

Entirely understandable. Since some manufacturers have released mining specific cards, I think priced will begin to normalize. To be honest, I wanted you to buy my card so that I could go with a 1080 or a Vega, pending availability. The 480 doesn't have quite enough guts to push 1440p above 40fps.

However, on a few games now, I've maxed the settings at 1440 and have been pleasantly surprised. Still get around 30fps, reminds me of consoles, but with way better graphics.
