While it isn't the same as destroying the drive, this should be good enough, w/o inconviencing the systems team. Any 'work' ( documents / files / email ) you generated while using the computer for work is considered property of the company, so only focus on your personal stuff (so you dont get busted for 'destroying company property'.
- Open each browser (firefox, IE, chrome) and delete cache, cookies, etc... - Move / delete all your files in My (Documents | Pictures | Videos | Music), and desktop - Uninstall any programs you installed and wasn't for work - Confirm no personal items stored in root "C:\" - Delete everything in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Temp - Delete everything in %SystemRoot%\TEMP

I was in the same boat, but not in an office setting. I had a custom built linux server running RAID 6 providing FTP, HTTP, DHCP, DLNA, etc.. I got tired of the administration, having a huge box sitting under the desk, and I initially installed the wrong distro as well (gentoo).
After months of research, I went with a Synology 1812+. I'm very pleased to say, I love it, and I gained functionality. I can do everything I was doing before and more. FTP, HTTP(s), DHCP, email, DLNA, media server, Samab, NFS, VPN, SSH, telnet, quotas and more. It is also MUCH quieter and more energy effecient.
It has a UI interface to configure everything. While editing conf files in vim provides the most flexibilty, I felt the UI provided just enough configuration / functionality to meet my needs.
Yes, it has a slower CPU and less RAM, but for a file / media / etc... server, it is more than enough.
If you combined this with a reasonable router / firewall, you will be fine.
Actually, I was one of the people who tried to get it, and I got a cancellation notice. Perhaps submitted should check their spam folder?

When I was in college, a group of guys saved newspapers for the entire semester. At the end of the semester, they carefully took the newspapers sheet by sheet, crumpled it in a ball and threw it in a room. As far as I can remember, it took less that 8 hrs to fill a room the size of the inside of an 18 wheeler's trailer. The best part was afterwards. The victim just shoved the newspaper out the door into the hall. Just like outhouses, the shiat flows down, even when you are on the 3rd floor of a dorm. There were 2 sets of stairs with extra landings 1/2 between each floor. The newspaper covered each of the landings enough to, unfortunatly, protect the heads of the dumb-as^h^h^h^h^h^h guys swan-diving head-first from landing to landing. Another neat feature was that everyone was coated in a fine black dust and we sneezed black for a few days.
I would recommend those spiffy face masks that you see asian people wearing in the news all the time and some latex gloves. This is so that you stay your normal color and don't sneeze black crap all over the victim when they are trying to figure out if you had anything to do with it or not.
