there are mines where only upper part of litosphere are digged out (without tunnels)... maybe in these mines

i was thinking about mine like this:

I voted no also, I like our rare choices as they are.

There are a couple of Ogre units that you could use the rules for a Kollossus, but it wipes out all your Rare choices.

I don't see anything wrong with CDs having a giant, it doesn't even have to be a slave, why does everything in a CD army have a to be a slave?  We trade with enough other races that a bit of cooperation certainly isn't out of the question in fighting.

And that's a problem... How?
Orcs and Goblins, Hobgoblins, Ogre Kingdoms, and Hordes of Chaos are confirmed traders. Probably Skaven too. I could imagine a few Chaos Dwarfs surreptitiously trading with the Tomb Kings or Nagashi Undead across the Straits of Nagash, but I don't imagine it would be endorsed.

I also vote no.
As i know Chaos Dwarfs live in Zigguzarts and giant is too big for it, besides giants hate ogres and then he hates us because of our trade relationship so i don't think chaos dwarfs thinked about having so much problems to handle one giant, they use cannon and deathrockets and other mechanical staff

Giants are all over the warhammer world so location is not a big thing.

It says in xander's rule book that one one of the gates of zarr nagarund ( i think that's what its called), they use two of the largest giants ever in the old world to open them. Surely if they can capture and utilize such immense creatures they can slave the smaller giants? I voted yes because i think a slave giant would fit into the fluff, maybe to carry large pieces of machinery or to load really really big guns like the hammer of ulric in middenheim.

Lizardmen cannot take giants either....goddamit

I would like to see a slavegiant in there. Yes there are better choices, the kollosus being one of them, but it wouldn't hurt to have options like that in there and it's not too out of place to be ridiculous. Granted their not as tuff, they don't have any tusks and their beards aren't as long as a dwarfs but they wouldn't be that bad to have on our side in a fight surely?

i think no, why risk such a valuable and rare creature dying or escaping when it's better at labour and such stuf

I can easily imagine the Chaos Dwarfs taking a giant to war.  The only problem I have with it, is whether they would actually use it to fight with or not.
It would be spectacularly useful for hauling heavy machinery, lifting equipment over obstacles, hauling or carrying cages of slaves and generally doing other types of manual labour.  It would be so useful for this in fact that I doubt whether Chaos Dwarfs would actually risk sending them into combat.  
I suppose that to justify having a giant in the army list it could be said that if there were already giants doing the above manual labour in CD armies (not necessarily as slave giants but perhaps just paid labour.  Why not?)  that word would spread and other Giants would decide that working for CD can't be much worse than Chaos, Orcs or Ogres.
They may be wrong of course, but then they aren't overly bright anyhow.
There is also the fact that if there were giants in the main list that would provide all kinds of great conversion opportunities *imagines Chaos Defiler/Giant hybrid*
