Some kind of hard drive wipe?
Crush the hard drive?

Donate it to schools?

Any cool projects? Like a home server.



destroying the data on the hard drive is a necessity. if you have a little technical know-how you can wipe it with a tool such as DBAN. If your not comfortable doing that, physically removing the drive and putting a series of holes through the drive and the platters will be sufficient. A drill press will do the trick

Yes, I did this as well before I had my old desktop recycled. It's pretty simple.
