Ready to purge all those CDs loaded with credit card numbers, personal documents, and top-secret files? Here's a compact, USB-powered contraption that'll make mincemeat of your discs in mere seconds.

Sniffed out by Gizmodo, the $29 CD Destroyer will take any CD or DVD and—with help from a trio of carbon-steel teeth—carve a series of cool, elliptical scratches on its surface, effectively turning your disc into a pretty-looking coaster. According to the specs, the CD Destroyer can carry out its destructive duties within about five seconds—good news for anyone with a stack of incriminating discs to trash. The Destroyer comes with a USB cable for power, and the manufacturer has thoughtfully thrown in a leather carry case for paranoid road warriors.

    I agree with the previous post. Destoyed disc, and entertainment.

    While it is less expensive than a shredder, most people that need to destroy CD's probably need to shred paper -- and most of today's shredders chop CD's into bits in a few seconds as well... I'd go for the $60 paper/CD shredder instead. I guess that means I am 'ho-hum' on this device.

    Microwave works, and makes it look cool in the process. CD + microwave radiation= blue explosion.
