Yeppers.
Someone told me to put a nail through it about ten times and soak it in water to destroy it. Okay by you?
Smash it to hell with a hammer.
Or grill it on the BBQ.

Oooo!! Love the BBQ idea!! Thank you, USN!
drill a hole through it, thats all you need to really do
It is your hard drive. And rather than going through a bunch of effort to destroy it, just keep it. Put it someplace out of the way. If you REALLY want to clean it properly, the first thing you would do is run a data-erasing program on it (think Clinton e-mail server). The program I always recommend is Darik's Boot and Nuke (DBAN). Wipe the hard drive as many times as you want and then just store it some place. Far easier.Throwing out an old computer. I think this photo is front and back of the hard drive, but want to be sure so Incan properly destroy it. Am I correct?
I recommend using dynamite to get rid of it but, lacking that, it makes a great target for, say a .380.
Just run a decently strong magnet over it. Don't have one? Make one. It's fun!
water does little that an experienced hack can't undo.Someone told me to put a nail through it about ten times and soak it in water to destroy it. Okay by you?
Errh...........no.Smash it to hell with a hammer.

and with a bit of luck "outside" will be your new way of life.:mrgreen:Bake it in your oven at 300 for 20 minutes or so. While you're outside.
