I'm doing some spring cleaning and I still have an old ass computer that I need to toss. I have no idea what info can still be on it so I don't want to just toss it in the trash.

What should I do with this thing ? should I try to destroy it ?

If you have access to a rare earth magnate that'll sweep the data right off it. Otherwise, take it out, take it apart. fuck shit up.

pull the hard drive out and take it to an e-waste recycler

Drill a hole through the hard drive.
Only the CIA can get anything off it after that.

There are dozens of companies out there specialized in recovering data. They are even able to recover data from partially burnt hard drives. A hole wouldn't be enough.

So I opened it up and did a pretty good job of dismantling it, including destroying the hard drive.
The first thing I did was delete all of my e-mails with Pete Townsend

Just kidding... no pun intended.
