Do you guys name your builds?

Do you guys name your builds and how do you decide on the name?

My first (personal, fully custom) build is called Carl. It's Carl because the theme color of the build is blue and blue in Latin is "caeruleum" and that just reminded me of Carl, I've also really loved that name since I watched Llamas with hats.

What are you guys' names and stories?

[EXTRADODO]

Mine is "Baby Ryzen". I don't know why I name it but loving mentioning.

[Statik]

I don’t name mine. Seems a little weird and awkward to me. 

[poops]

No, I don't name any of my builds... you give it a name, next thing it wants rights and privileges 

[berberries]

My main rig - Hana

I love D.va and it was more D.va themed with the old GPU

 

Second PC - Ryzen

My first Ryzen build (started with a 1700x and got bumped to a 2700x) after all my previous builds powered by Intel.

 

Server - NASty

It's a NAS and well NASty sounds good.

[Guest]

I didn't always, but I have with my last bunch.

 

 

Cherchez la Ghost - Named after a Ghostface Killah song that I love since the case is the Louqe S1 Ghost.

 

 

Hot Chocolate - Named for the brown Noctua fans

 

 

 

Noc Noc, Who's There - Again named for the Noctua fans

 

 

Lucid Visions - Named for the Fractal Design S2 Vision case, then the Lucid part comes from the many definitions of the word relating to clarity.

 

 

Matte Machine - Simply named for all the matte black components.

 

 

Étude - Named for the case being the InWin Chopin.

 

 

Chīsai - Means small, named because it's absolutely not lol.

 

Annnnnnnd... I'll stop there. But yeah, I usually just try to pull the components into the name.

[Lurick]

I do, yes, I name my servers as well

Servers and PCs are named after various Greek Titans.

Goliath - (Retired) Main computer

Hyperion - (Current) Main computer

Orion - Main server

Rhea/Themis - Raspberry Pi servers

Phoebe - Logzilla server

Coeus - Automation server

 

 

All my networking gear is Skynet-something. Main switch is Skynet Core for example.

Gorgeous builds, I love them especially the last one, well done

[TetraSky]

Mine doesn't have a name. It's just "my main PC".

Yes! Someone else who names their networking gear.

High fives all around.

[poops]

Oh, I forgot, my main NAS is called dead_pool, and yes the main pool is called Dead. My second NAS is just called BackupNAS, for obvious reasons

My wifi networks are named though, because, well you can find them by their SSID then   1 is called OrIoN, as I've always loved the tales, and because he's a giant ass hunter (who wouldn't love that!), and I love the constellation too. And the other wifi is called Hooli, after the company in Silicon Valley TV show... mostly because I loved the ironic nature of their company.

[inalone]

I've never been good with naming, so I've never bothered to name my PC. Hell, I can never think of a good hostname whenever I install a Linux distro or Windows (I usually just go with the distro name or something boring like "<firstname>-laptop")

[Meowster]

I called my PC: The Meowster. Yes, that is where my profile name is from. I called it that because my cat is called that and the cat is very fast and therefore, that is why my PC is called Meowster. Its fast

[Xiee]

Yep, I do name my devices.

Main Desktop (AMD Ryzen 3600X) - Nero
File Server (AMD Ryzen 1600) - Rei
Laptop (Intel i5) - Chibi

[PlayStation 2]

...meh? I think I called my rig Elroy for a couple of months.

[Pickles von Brine]

Mine is Unobtainium 2.0

[Delicious Cake]

"It's A Computer v6"

I can't believe it's not buffered! (normie server)

With the MIGHT OF ZEUS! (Dell server)

[Eschew]

I read it as "Do you guys name your birbs?"

*DEEP BREATHING*

I need help.

 

On Topic: I currently use a laptop, I don't name that. Once I get my PC build up and running, I might name it then. Sort like like christening a ship. Except, without the messy champagne and broken glass(es).

[bigmug]

Not really... I only have functional names for them. "The computer" for my main build on my desk, and then "the NAS" for my NAS build. Simple as that...

 

[Fyre]

bessie

[Silencix]

pc.
