What do you call your boxes?

MasterPlan1 · 2 Jun 2011 at 12:26

I'm doing a refresh of my systems over the weekend - and I'm adding in a new machine to the fold, and I'm trying to pick a name for it... And also rename all my current ones too.

So the question stands, what do you call your boxes, so I can get ideas from you.

Galactica / Pegasus / Valkyrie / Kobol

(yes I may be a battlestar galactica fan

)

Only having 2 PCs means having any kind of naming system is, unfortunately, pointless, so they are just my first name-pc and -laptop

Big Speedy, Little Speedy, Mini Speedy, but for mobiles and stuff its generally 1st name then Android or Android tablet etc.

Sad.

Posting on a computer forum or giving you PCs names to make the easily identifiable on a network?

I can say I will never call mine a "box". :-/

MasterPlan1 · 2 Jun 2011 at 14:18

I gave up on being creative, going to call them by their CPU, so e3300, q6600, e7400, 1055t, su9400, x2, n270.

I name mine with short names, so I can access them quickly..

Usually I name them after pets...

gizmo
rusty
media (media centre

)
raptor
scamp

Used to use case names or cpu. SN45G, Lian-Li, Barton2500. At work, I've inherited a legacy system where they use serial numbers which means nothing without the word file containing the records. PITA

Mine are named by owner/use, so I have Main-PC, firstname-laptop, otherhalf-netbook, and Mythbuntu

dekez · 2 Jun 2011 at 15:04

Blue, Server, Laptop, Tina-PC

I lack creativity.
