Thinking of using my gaming rig that i have not used since last Oct or something like that for mining most-likely litecoin (have 2 gtx 560s i think), but i have never done it. Anyone point me in the right direction that way i don't walk into a scam? I remember back in the early 2000s doing something like this for DNA or cancer research but that was forever ago.

Its just sitting in my 50 degree basement not being used im liquid cooled already

for Litecoin you need:

1) Litecoin wallet
2) account at a mining pool (I use http://pool-x.eu)
3) cudaminer application

for my GTX 460 I just set up the following batch scripts:

1) this points to the pool's stratum server, which is the best way to pull work
Code:
start "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\cudaminer-2013-04-30" stratum_proxy.exe -o mine.pool-x.eu -p 9000

2) this launches the miner app, for 560s you would probably get good performance keeping the settings the same
Code:
start "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\cudaminer-2013-04-30" cudaminer.exe -d 0 -i 1 -C 2 -m 1 -l 28x4 -o localhost:8332 -O uname:pw

for two cards to run you'll need to launch two instances of the app with two scripts, the first one will have uname.1 and the second will have uname.2, correlating to the GPUs, but there should be info on that on the pool site.

I jumped onto the same pool that guy's on (HashFaster), my hashrate is more consistent than it was on Pool-X so I'm earning nicely again

There's a few litecoin pool I would recommand,

PPLNS pool
www.wemineltc.com

PPS pool
https://www.liteguardian.com/login invite only, I think I got 10 invite spot.

CPPSRB reward system pool
https://hypernova.pw/

This pool, have a automated system that mine the highest profit Scrypt coin at the time, and exchange it to btc, fees is a little high at like 3.88 percent, if you want BTC and don't want to go through the trouble of exchanging and stuff, it's very good. + you don't need to register, just set your BTC address and mine.
