Do You Recycle Your Old Computers?

[Midas Touch]

...................................................................^^^^^This!!

If you have a drill press just drill holes through the platters and the circuit board.

DONE and DONE!!



But....if you're REALLY paranoid.....just do what you see in this video and you can rest, assured that your data will never be retrieved.


Erasing A PC Hard Disk With 4 kV HV And Calcium Thermite - YouTube



R.I.P

ROLFLMAO!!!!

About 20 minutes after posting the video above, I refreshed my java script in some other tab in FF, I have like 365 tabs open right now, and I heard an Electrical Arcing sound and could actually SMELL electronics burning!!

I started looking around the room and then turned the stereo off to try and pinpoint it.

It was Coming from my TOWER!! (I'm DEAF in my left ear BTW.)

My right computer speaker is right above the tower, it was THEN that I decided to check that YouTube video and see if it had somehow reloaded.

It had, but for like 10 seconds MY ASS WAS PUCKERING!!!


Figured I'd share the HORROR and HUMOR!!

No need to recycle them. The last two computers I had were both accidentally thrown onto a wood floor and smashed to pieces.

Open up the HDD, remove the Magnetic Storage stuff, recycle the HDD parts with rest of PC.
