Whats your PCs Name

[Aastii]

I've had to change the naming system because of having more computers than people now. Started naming them after FF characters:

Squall (My main)
Tidus
Zidane
Tifa
Zell
Building a storage/server computer some point in the near future which will be called Cloud

 

[claptonman]

Charmander.

 

[tremmor]

I have many computers five to be exact.
Grandpa, grandma server, laptop etc.
run a server for family and have it named accordingly.
want to know which one im looking at.
strictly business and convenience.

 

[Cromewell]

My computers all have their default names. When I need to connect to one of them I use their IP address.

 

[PixelVandalism]

My gaming pc is CaptnKickass
and my sh*tty school laptop is mr.laptop

 

[Dngrsone]

I used to have them numbered:

Primus
Secundus
Tertius

After Quaternius, I decided that enough was enough. Eventually they all died, one way or another, though Secundus' OS drive has been resurrected for a while.

Now each family member has their own laptop and they are named appropriately, and I have a beater laptop I use for testing purposes, called Red Shirt.

My peripherals are all named after mythical beasts.
