I had another laptop named Foxtrot, naturally. I've had various other names throughout time, but can't remember any of the others.

I just started working on some crappy file server, originally named it Andros, but I can't remember what I changed it to.

Both of my new computers are fairly large and almost all black, so I named them accordingly. The laptop is called "Monolith", and the desktop is called "Stealthbomber".

Of course! Every home network needs two VMWare ESX servers and an ISCSI SAN... right?

All you're missing now is a zSeries mainframe and a tape robot for legacy applications... you know, like storing your really old pr0n :)

Sorry, no IBM. Beware of the Dark Side. The 2 Esx Servers are dell 1850's picked up after one of our clients went under. The Iscsi San Machine is a Dell 2800 running openfiler. The power consuption is what sucks. Oh well, im still trying to convince my boss to let me place those 3 in one of the racks we rent from our hosting facility. Since All I usually do on them is all work related testing and Demo's anyway.
