I forget the exact command, since I haven't used it in a while, but there's mention of a command in the book Knoppix Hacks that will overwrite everything in your hard drive with random data, and then overwrite all THAT data with 0s. Sounds like a pretty darn secure method to me.
Mine is relatively spartan at the moment, as I'm lacking extra monitors to...well, monitor my planned cluster. Mostly, its just parts, sorted by type (Optical storage, Magnetic Storage, etc.), and a thingy for small bits like LEDs and screws.
Mind you, mine doubles as a location to strip down seriously damaged PCs for their functional components;)
I wonder if perhaps the reason for the change is the ridiculously high thermals for the current G5s. From what I've heard, they run so hot that it would be almost impossible to consider putting them in laptops.
