Remove the hard disk. Depending on how paranoid you are:

  1. Install the drive in another PC, and if it's writeable, use a disk-wiping program.
  2. Hit it with sledgehammer several times.
  3. Dissolve it in aqua regia.
  4. Bury it in the foundation of a building.

EDIT: of course, for real security you could use a disk-wiping program, hit it with a sledgehammer, dissolve the fragments in aqua regia, then bury the neutralized aqua regia in the foundations of a building.
