Can anyone give me some advice on what to zap and how to make things secure/safe?

Many thanks in advance.
Why not just buy a 20 Gig Hard Drive from www.dabs.com or www.ebuyer.co.uk to put in the for sale PC
and just keep your original as a back up drive in a usb or firewire caddy for backing up onto?
