Main PC is Houston. Laptops are voyager 1 and 2. Wi-Fi is Freedom (5) and Independence (2.4). Chromcast is Hubble.

isn't that incredibly stupid? Don't PC's move locations all of the time? Or do multiple people use each with network drives for personal files?

"Laptop."

My SFF desktop is Mighty Mouse. Laptops don't get names.

Name it after the model name of the motherboard. The one I'm using is called "Hero". I also have a P5Q Pro Q9650 computer on the side for XP gaming that is called "Titan" as it's installed in a case that is the Antec Titan 650.

User/PC

I named my PC the same as someone else's computer on their wifi network that I cracked so that they wouldn't get suspicious, and I haven't bothered changing it since. Which was about 5 years ago.

Old laptop that acts as server: Luna
New laptop: New Lunar Republic

What should I name my test webserver I'm building Cred Forums?

some are named after katawa shoujo characters, because they're all disabled pieces of junk

I just name them noraPC, noraLaptop etc. I suppose it's the same as and

I called my (first) HAF-X build TheBigCon.
I was really into The Sting and the Ocean's movies at the time. Subsequent builds have been variations on that name such as TheLittleCon and TheCubedCon.

fx 8350 build - ShitPostingHQ

also raspi is 'fluorpi'

I'll copy your idea

Who the fuck names their devices? For what reason?

Mark III. The next major upgrade will see it renamed Mark IV.

>What have you named your computer?
I name my computers after my ex girlfriends.

>Don't PC's move locations all of the time?

I worked at an MSP that looked after a lot of different businesses.

A laptop that basically doesn't have a home is one thing. But "moving PCs all the time" is a clusterfuck. It happens in a small number of businesses and it's total horseshit getting an IT team to crawl under desks every week moving things around because of shits and giggles.

Ryuko.

>that awkward moment when the motherboard is actually a green Biostar P4M900-M7

All my computers (PC, laptops, phone, servers, router) named after characters of Stanislaw Lem novel "Eden": Chemik, Cybernetyk, Doktor, Fizyk, Inzynier, Henryk, Koordynator

MyDesktop, MyLaptop and....bedroom-pc. Because, you know, consistency. The computer name has never been that important to me really.

I can definitely agree with this as well. I've worked as a developer for 2.5 years, and I've already moved my PC on 3 separate occasions. I get a workout too, since I lucked out with a heavy, powerful PC rather than the tiny little boxes most other people in the building get.

DESKTOP-B5NBOG2. Didn't feel the need to change it after reinstalling

Came in here to say that

some day that will happen:

naming servers for their intended purpose is a shit idea. things will change and nothing'll make sense any more. use abstract names.
