Considering winter is right around the corner, I would place these units strategically in corners of each room. Turn them on when it gets chilly. You can probably set them on a timer too so that your house is nice and cosy when you get back from work.
Also, if you have a newborn at home, they make a very enjoyable background sound that will soothe him/her to sleep.

Perhaps someone doing greenhouse farming would like to use the heat and wind + paying for electricity. you could share profit or get free farming products have u tried this ? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3835841.0might get you some extra greens from the farmer

Using ASICs/rigs as heaters during cold days is wise. I had my whole 3-bedroom apartment heated with a few GPU rigs last year. And you can open windows freely to let some fresh air come in without losing energy My bill after the winter was really low. Another thing is mining some less popular coins and hoping for either price rise or interest from some pump&dump groups (therefore you might want to place your sell orders in advance on some exchanges). P&D groups generally suck but sometimes they allow you to make money by chance.

I sold my own. On e-bay. Well, what else to do with them? Store for memory? It is better to sell, albeit cheap, as long as there is an opportunity.

The answer is quite a simple one TBH, Ask yourself, have you got your investment back? If Yes, Then sell them. If not Did you make more than 70% of the invested amount back? If yes, Sell them and call it a good lesson. If you haven't made more than 40% of your Money Back then are you willing to take the risk of the market going up? If yes then keep mining, else sell your miners and cut your losses. It's that simple nothing rocket science here

Good advise, really. Winter is coming, so have a free warming in your house, also who knows what will happen this winter? Maybe prices of Scrypt coins will rise and you'll profit too? Well OP, I suggest to wait and sell after winter, there are a lot of good advices/techniques how to turn antminers into good house heater and profit at the same time.

A bit funny, but yes I'm doing that. One of my gpu doesn't have any fan (all the fan broke). And I just put that two fan (I got it from my old ASIC) near the gpu for cooling that gpu. And it works.

While the ASIC heat is good, I'd say ASICSs are too noisy to be really kept indoors, especially with a baby in the house. If i were the OP and had already gotten ROI on the machines, I'd sell them already. There doesn't seem to be much development on litecoin and simply expecting it's value to recover would probably mean that the entire crypto market will recover better. Simply sell the machines and buy the coins!

Heh, This 100%. Compare costs against modern heaters and noise machines. If you are good at sales you might consider pushing them as collectibles or home decor pieces.

How much it cost you per unit when you bought them? It still very expensive here in our country almost Php100,000. I guess you are mining Litecoin. Well, back in June 2017 when it was released miners earn extremely high, so if you bought them that year I guess you earn well and you have recovered your investment as well.

It's like 2015 year again and people are asking what else can the do with their ASICs besides mine with them.
Basically you can't do anything else. Even though they hash some crypto functions you can't do the hash separately since it's not possible to separate the permanent transistors in the chip die.
We actually always had this issue not only now or in 2015, but your best bet is just to sell Them, cheap and someone who wants to play around with some light mining will offer you maybe $50.

You'll have a tough time to sell them now , dont sell when there is to much demand , wait and sell when mining profitability is back. In December people where buying Antminers S7 which where turned of for couple years as it was very profitable to mine. It goes in hand as buying coins, buy low sell high. Hope this helps BTC
