my biggest hard drive used to be in Amber. But she's getting old, so now I stick it in Rita. Only thing I don't like about her is she's loud when I turn her on.

For networking purposes, my computer is called DarkPath. It's also the name of my Dungeons and Dragons group. Other computers in my LAN are BlueMidget and WhiteShark

 

[ShadowHunter]

[RoninRXN]

Heh...when I was making the rig page, I put Ronin Reactor...but I never call it that.

Mine has a bunch of car stickers on it...the most prominent being the vertical "silvia" (after the Nissan that we know as the 240SX...which is NOT a REAL Silvia.) one...so Silvia might sound nice...but I just call it a "computer."

 

[Moonbeam]

My computer is called The Lunar Photon Ejecta Stream.

 

[Juniper]

Beethoven here... woof woof...

"Beethoven don't you crash with me..."

So called "bad word" by mom and pop in our child hood and "inappropriate language" by our Jr. High teachers and AnandTech Moderators.

 

[Mitzi]

I use the signs of the zodiac for network names ? my main machine is Taurus, the laptop is Aries

 

[Jingoro]

Got too many 'puters in the house, so we have to give them names.

 

[dowxp]

ok guys. i mean a personal name. not net work name. like if it was a person. say we didnt have something called networking, would u still give it a personal name?

 

[Jfur]

Yes, I name computers and cars. It has nothing to do with network identity. It has to do with the fact that I place a lot of trust in my machines, and I like to feel that I can rely on them (even if the relationship is all in my head )
