Bitcoin miners can not be re-purposed. They take a header input and output only nonces, not hash results.

  I think the point is that if there's a bitcoin miner doing 2GH/sec for $19, the operation is cheap.

    No, the cost is due to scale. Producing ASIC chips involves millions of dollars of setup.
