Evening all,

Im about to upgrade my PC this weekend and will be doing a fresh install of Win7. I am wondering what to call my PC this time.

Thought it might be fun to make a thread where people post their computer names, and why they call them that.

My current machine is called 'Esmerelda' - I usually call them after old peoples names!

What is yours called, and why?
 
Desktop = Desktop
Laptop = Laptop
Server = Server

I go all out on mine

A customer I used to visit used starwars and startrek names for their hosts, which thoroughly confused visitors!

I use a similar theme:
PC 1: Deepthought
PC 2: Ford (used to be Ford Prefect, but dropped the second word on the third iteration)
Server: Zaphod
Laptop: Arthur (as in Dent, Arthur Dent)
Weather Server: Slartibartfast
Media PC: Marvin

Haha these cracked me up, cheers :)

In the end I really liked:-

Various moons

Desktop Ganymede
Laptop Io

So my new desktop install is called 'Callisto'

Thanks all :)
