Point the cards to the MilkyWay@HOME project, or one of the other BOINC projects that support GPU. They often require double bit precision cards though. To find out if your card supports double bit precision or just single bit, refer to the ATI/AMD GPU list on wikipedia.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_AMD_graphics_processing_units

Of course though its donating cycles, electricity and operating costs to charity and for science, so you won't see any money from it. Sometimes there are prizes for competitions on some projects but to my knowledge none of them provide reimbursement for the work done (at least none that would approach break-even).

If bitcoin (and all alt coins) go to zero, then sell off some of your GPUs, keep the best, use the money to buy 6 kick-ass monitors, and go crazy with Eyefinity playing games. Smiley
 
That's what *I'd* do, anyway.
