One thing to keep in mind when recycling your old computer (or selling
it or giving it away): remove the hard disk. Re-formatting is
insufficient to protect your personal data (doubly true of Windows).
Take the hard disk out and physically destroy it (a hammer, safety
goggles, and a hard surface work well for this).

See this study by Simson Garfinkel at MIT for more info:
