Best way to wipe a mac?

Hi, I'm at work and looking to purchase a software to wipe these macs we have

Yes we can remove them and pop it in our pc and use dban to wipe BUT do not want to open these powerbooks, they're a PITA

there is also dban for the mac but the software will not work on these powerbooks (I guess it's not supported)

So what software do you recommend, I need it to have DoD 5220

Why not just use the Disk Utility on the installation disc of the computer. It can do a 1-pass, 7-pass or even a 35-pass zero out of the drive.
