Best <$350 ASIC for no power cost? Winter is coming.

Winter is coming and I'm going to need a space heater, mine died in the spring. Instead of buying a cheap space heater from Canadian Tire I thought, why not make some money off of that heat? 

 

What miner has the best ROI for someone who has free power. My unit has power included. Looking for ~<$350.

Also considering hooking up my old FX 8350 motherboard+CPU+RAM to run 2 GPUs if ROI is faster. 

 

*NO I won't be buying 50 of them to run at once,

The BTC earned will go towards a second one if it's too cold in the space I want them in, otherwise/then towards PC parts because newegg accepts Bitcoin in Canada.

 

Between my old 1050ti and my new 1660ti I mined enough to just buy myself a 1TB Intel 660p m.2 drive ! I'm craving more!

My rig:

CPU: Ryzen 7 5800x

MB: Gigabyte B450 I Aorus Pro WiFi

RAM: Kingston Fury Beast RGB 32GB (2x16GB) 3600mhz CL16 (1-to-1 Infinity Fabric enabled)

GPU: Gigabyte RTX 2080 Super

*bought for $200 CAD off a friend who needed an RTX 3080, price was my reward.

CASE: InWinn A1 Plus in White with included 600w gold sfx PSU and included custom length cables

DISPLAY: 3x 20" AOC 1080p 60hz 4ms ,  32" RCA 1080p/60hz TV mounted above, all on a single arm.

 

Storage: C : 1TB WD Blue NVMe      D : 2TB Barracuda      E: 240GB Kingston V300 (scratch drive)

NAS: 240GB Kingston A400 + 6x 10+ year old 700GB Barracuda drives in my old FX8350+8GB DDR3 system

 

Logitech G15 1st Gen + Logitech G602 Wireless

Steam Controller +  Elite Series 2 controller + Logitech G29 Racing Wheel + Wingman Extreme Digital 3D Flight Stick

Sennheiser HD 4.40 Headphones + Pixel Buds 2 + Logitech Z213 2.1 Speakers

You can get newest S9e from bitmain directly for under $200 now. 
 

but these are all extremely noisy. 40DB minimum.

 

if you have truly free power I’ll send you 5 and we’ll split the BTC? That’s 7.5kw/hour I’m going to assume someone will notice the power draw.

 

these are also all 220-240v power requirement
