Maybe give some free advice about: Computers?
you really dont need much computer knowlege to take out the hardrive. just open up the computer, look for something that looks like this

unhook it and pull it out. you can destroy it however you want (i dont recommend fire) you can swipe a magnet over it a few times. if you deleted all your files first the date will be unrecoverable, and the hardrive will probably be broken beyond repair. just throw it out in the garbage and donate the rest of the computer to goodwill, they might have a hardrive lying around.

Get a professional to do this. If your inexperienced with computers, you need a someone with much experience and knowledge to do this. When they take it out just ask for it back, if you want.
I couldn't find anything on the web about taking one out. But remember, computers can be dangerous things if you don't know what your doing, that's why you need a professional.
Check the Yellow Pages, and maybe you can find someone. Also, have your computer recycled. They can take the parts out of it and make new ones! =]
Good luck!

Format the hard drive to erase all the files.
Then, just donate the computer to a local church or Goodwill or something. There are plenty of people who would be able to use such a thing.
