Want an ASIC for winter space heater @ work

[dbc23]

I want to get one ASIC for under my desk for the winter.  Since i'd need a real one anyway, it seems to make sense.  What i'm wondering is if there's ANYTHING that will be available to buy by then, that's not price gouged and will be relatively useful to run.

I have no algo preference or specific daily return, so long as the cost ROI isn't measured in years.

Any suggestions?

If u miss D3 release, u can go on baikal miner giant+ ... is a chameleon, can mine six different algo.
U prolly can grab ROI in one years.

wouldn't the sound be unbearable though? i don't have an ASIC but from the videos i saw of the antminers these things are loud

If you want something just for a space heater, you could consider something older, like a Spondoolies SP20e (which can be set to be pretty quiet).

 I wouldn't put a Baikal under a desk - the case on their Giant isn't particularly sturdy and I'd be worried that one accidental kick = dead miner.

 *ALL* Antminer models since at least the S5 have been quite loud - the Focused Flow Delta fan on them makes a high pitched whine due to the large number of blades + the "focus" blades times the fairly high RPM they spin at.
 The Spondoolies used a YS Tech fan (which was very similar to the Delta AFB series) with a lot lower blade count, so no whine just a "whoosh" of airflow that's a LOT less annoying.
