"Greed is good" (Gordon Gekko). Can you make more money out of a GPU farm than mining btc or alt coins?

Rendering services, gaming cafes...

I'm just a simple guy swimming in a sea of sharks.

Beyond mining, there are projects like folding@home , but I don't know of any that pay.

Password recovery but you have to spend time looking for people willing to pay for it.

Boinc is also a good one with many different projects that can be run. I have been in Boinc for a long time.

Not making money per se, but apparently EVGA will give you "EVGA Bucks" for folding@home.

There's plenty of distributed computing projects, so I'm sure you could find one you are willing support morally or ethically. Folding@Home is an easy one to get behind, there's SETI@Home if your interest is Aliens Wink

None of them will pay you for your GPU work, though, so it's just a warm fuzzy feeling you'll be getting (that actually may be the heat from the GPUs, though) along with an electric bill.

Alt coins aren't dead, why not bother with them? Why not run an internet cafe that runs LTC scrypts when not in use? Should be pretty damn simple to setup, especially with all the software they have out there now for administering sites such as internet/LAN cafes.

If you mine Alt-Coins, and trade them for BTC as soon as you get them, you will end up with about twice as many BTC than if you mined them directly with GPU's. It is where the GPU miners are headed.
