What do you name your computers?

[compwhizii]

I try to be professional and give them names that describe what they are. Here are some from my home network:

• John-pc
• mom-laptop
• Julianna-laptop
• Ubuntu-VM
• CWii-server

So what do you name yours?

Mine are all random, I could care less.

[Livewire]

LWHQ Vista, LWHQ XP, MediaBox, OldSkool, and ****Box. Last one is a horrid system, you can probably guess at the name ;)

Old gaming machine: Pwninator-smith
AMD K6 Machine: Molassis-smith
Linux Router/server: net-smith
Laptop: lappy-smith
2nd laptop: D42G5R21-smith
iPod Touch: iPod-smith
PSP: N/A
PS2: N/A

Taken straight from the router. The router name is what I named it and shows up as in Windows. It doesn't show itself in the DHCP pool obviously :P. These are the machines that have been on in the last 36 hours.

When talking about them I describe them by their "job" (like main PC or spare PC/laptop etc). On the network, they have my name and their OS, and "job" if necessary (virtual PCs have a V in there as well).

Like:
AlexXPPC, or
Alex98VPC

My main one is different - VistaPCAlex

[Gouri]

I have given the name is Matrix

mine are very basic, but they server thier purpose well. the one i'm using now is named after the case i use: "NZXT" since it's a custom build. the rest of the packaged computers are named after their manufacturers: emachine, vaio, compaq. then the special purpose computers are named after their purpose: server, backup.

see, very basic but serve their purpose :P
