Thats massive overkill. Mark Russinovich bought this idea up on one of his talks. That the first port of call people do is wipe a system, but he said its not always required. Showed his tools in use hunting malware. He was the guy that found Sony's rootkit all those years ago.
Yes wiping is best practice. But destroying a mobo and drives after an attack is massive overkill and a waste.
