I have a similar problem - I've several old computers too and a cathode ray tv. I even own vinyl records and a few VHS video cassettes. My gameboy is getting rusty.

Let's say Bitcoin (and all alts) goes to zero because Nakamoto was wrong Smiley. What could I do with 50 GPUs besides selling them, have fun with my kids (and the whole school) or replace my home heater with them?
Any ideas that have been implemented? Like starting a "gaming center" or process proteins...
LOL - you still could mine PiPiCoin

Offer guantanamo style services to the US govt (arrange all 50 GPUs in a small room with a prisoner, running BTC, the noise and heat after a number of weeks should be enough to break any man).
Only if you put the fans on autofan, otherwise he might just turn the sound into background noise.

Dont sell them, Open up a cool shop where kids can go and play for reasonable prices and make a cafe so people can buy overpriced food and drinks while they play.That should use up about 49 gpus , so i guess ill take the last one as a gift if I have to Smiley

When the subject of buying BTC with Paypal comes up, I often remember this:
