Toyota guy here...

Main: Supra-RZ
Work: Supra-XP
G3 Powerbook: Supra-G3
2nd PC: MR2-GTS
3rd PC: Celica-GT4
4th PC: Trueno-86
 
my main PC is named the rogers CR number cause i have no choice

my other 2 are
"Tbird" and "PIII"

i guess you can guess what they consist of! 😀
 
Grandma's solitaire system and the internet connection sharing system? SOLITAIRE
My little brother+sister's comp, old hand down from me? ETERNAL (previously THE ONE ETERNAL when I used it)
My brother's? MUDUIN (His idea from Maduin the esper in Final Fantasy 6j (3us)). Esper names would probably be a good naming scheme.
My current rig? REVELATION
My mother's is MOM I think.

other names I have if I ever have enough computers:

FATE
DIVINITY
RETRIBUTION
VENGEANCE
DESTINY
FORTUNE
APOCALYPSE

Any Worms (2: Armageddon or World Party) players here? You can probably guess my 8 worm names of choice 🙂
team: THE ONE ETERNAL
APOCALYPSE
DESTINY
FATE
REVELATION
DIVINITY
RETRIBUTION
VENGEANCE
FORTUNE

If I have to do a series that I won't own or be using I'll use the Greek Alphabet in order.
 
Hmm... My computer shows up on the network as "Joshua". That's my name.

The computer downstairs shows up as "John". That's my dad. Since I just realized 2 seconds ago they're bibilical names, maybe I'll name my next computer Mark or Matthew or something. too bad i dont have any mark's or matthew's in my family.

If I ever build a super-rig I'll name it Jesus 😛
 
Mine is named Patton, after the greatest Allied general in WW2 🙂 (and no, I don't want to start a debate about that, it's just my opinion)
 
I named my Tbird rig, "ThunderChicken," My intel Laptop, "ThunderChickenJr", and my parents computer "SugarChicken"
 
Just the processor speed. Nothing creative... Makes it easy to find on the network. Drives are all named in the same manner, processor speed of the PC and either main or backup depending on the purpose.

Example: 166pen, 400cel. 166main, 400main, 400bkup

(yes, I realize these are slow/old... Looking forward to building a P4 in April😀)
