The platters are actually pretty brittle.  You can open the case, save
the magnets, and give the platters a good whack with a hammer to shatter
them.  A friend found out they were brittle while making an "art
project" out of some retired disks... (Ok, he was making an ash tray...
and the platters snapped while he was bending them.)
