Winter is coming.
Also the S3's were built like tanks in my mind, that metal case with the reliability I foresee them running in "free" electricity for quiet a while. They can heat up a room which some tend to do. I have stopped doing it myself last winter but it is a valid way to try to have a lower heating bill.
Not sure on S1's though how many will really run them this winter. And those with S3 might be able to jump to S5's that are used for not a ton. So could be the winter of S5's for those with free electricity.
Agreed. If only bitmain would make a miner that at least resembled the S3 in some shape or form... unfortunately, nothing like it has ever come out of their factories. One can only dream
I run my S3's year-round for fun, so I guess I'll be using less heating this year

If you live in a small apartment, the S5 does a lot more noise than the other 2.
But it does make more sense to go with the S5 if you don't mind it.
S5 fans can be changed iirc, and they make a lot less noise if you want to pay an extra 10 or 20 bucks to replace the fan. I've done it and the noise levels are much more acceptable now, still noticeable but acceptable.
