All my systems have names, changeable only when significant upgrades have been made.

Main Desktop - Blackreaper
Notebook - Beckett
Testbed - Flexbox1
Testbed 2 - Flexbox2

Testbeds don't get original names, they're built by Dell. The notebook gets a name even though it was built by Sager/PC Torque because it was and still is an extremely powerful notebook. Its 7800GTX won't be totally eclipsed until the 8800M GTXs start appearing on the market. Then it will be time for me to start looking for a new notebook.

LOL, I was going to say that! Actually, my PC is simply ancient by gaming standards, but it works great.

I call my lappy the "Bat Computer" my phone (with the classic batman theme song) is the Bat Phone, and my car (black charger with all black windows) the Bat Mobile. My apt is of course the bat cave. And yes, I get laid regularly.
