Clever PC Names

We also name our cars. Because it's more fun than just saying "Mom's car" and "Dad's car"...

Speaking of cars, I named my Mini Cooper "Lil' Nug"

That's the point where I'm not creative. We only have two cars in the family, so it's really just "The Van" and "The Touran".

It might be that people only start naming stuff they heavily customised or feel expresses their individuality? If you're using a stock case with stock components, naming that build seems less urgent than naming a super-custom mod that you're writing a build log about.

I picked the color of my latest car, so sort of custom. My wife's car was a custom order (color, trim and options).

OTOH, I also named my first car which I bought used.

I'm sorry, but it's worse than you thought.

Martian Successor Nadesico is a classic, I wish it got more love.

Just had a random thought today, what have you guys named your PCs? I try to be clever in naming those I build or help build, and some (I think) happen to be (kind of) rather clever.

For example I have an NCASE M1, which will be getting the panels painted/powdered White later this year; thus it shall be named "Monochrome".

A friend of mine has a Corsair 250D, which, while not really close, is "close enough" to being a cube. Therefore, it is dubbed the "Cubicle".

There are more, but I'm still thinking of those.

So, have any of you guys got (sort of) clever names?

Named my computer “FortunateOne” after my boyfriend who gave me $500 for my first PC. His name is Maddox meaning “son of the fortunate one”. He broke up with me a week before my PC arrived :’)

I dont name "computers" per se, just the system installation itself. As is normal and required on Unixoid OSes.

The naming scheme follows Star Trek vessel names, eg. the Mesh-mATX system is called Pequod (both for ST:FC and an USS Pequod), my current workstation - which also was the original Mesh-mATX system (planned) - installation is called Phoenix, for the first man-made warp ship. Oh, yet another ST:FC reference.

And yes, Star Trek: First Contact is in the top 5 of my all-time favorite movies

IDK yet what I'm gonna call the 270k plus "mystery case" system yet, but its most certainly gonna be another ST vessel name
