Pretty standard replies: space heater, scrap metal, repurpose case, repurpose heatsinks, scrap PCBs for components / materials.

Thanks for the replies and the links guys! I guess I didn't have notifications turned on. Looks fairly hopeless at this point. I had just hoped some clever coder could have figured out an alternate use, or mod that would keep these behemoths in use. --J

Those miners how efficient were they? Like 1.6TH/s using 2000Watts?

1.25Watts/GHash ?

I did not have one only read about them.  I believe it was somewhere in this ball park.  So resale is going to not be worth a ton.

But I personally like selling better then setting on a shelf or closet.  Every little bit helps with ROI.

I have a couple I pulled offline a few months ago and have not found any information about these machines being re-purposed. Does anyone have any information on that?

There is really not much to do with old asics.  You can sell them cheap and pocket a tad more cash.   Find those with "free" or super cheap electricity and they buy gear but again it's not going to bring a fortune.

You can find buyers on the forum in hardware or look at ebay.   I suggest trying to sell all of it.   But some you might sell parts off of if price is right.

What sort of repurposing do you have in mind?

If you're thinking of non-Bitcoin (or compatible altcoin) mining purposes, see existing threads:
Non-Bitcoin Uses for Old ASIC Miners?
What about our old miners?
