If you consider the initial cost of hardware, the cost to you in lost processing cycles that could be used for other things, the cost of your internet connection, the cost of the electricity to run your computers while mining, the depreciated value of the hardware over time and the value of your own labor installing the bitcoin mining software and keeping track of it all, it's very hard to see any value in the whole proposition unless bitcoin value is relatively high.
