Do you name your PC?

[MrDKOz]

Hi, having a discussion at work today, and it seems that some people like to name their PCs, and other people didn't see the point. 

 

Myself and my partner named ours (mines Rubik). What's the general consensus here?

 

If so, what've you opted to call yours?

[8-Bit Ninja]

I do, but simply due to the fact that there are a number of devices on my network, and its easier to find each one when they are properly named

[ImNotThere]

i name all of my clients builds after memes, it gets pretty rude at times but theyre fine with it

[knightslugger]

I call it names, none pleasant, but no i do not NAME my computers.

True, it does help a lot.

 

• My PC - RUBIK
• My Surface book - ENTROPY
• Partners - BOGLIN
• Server- TURING

I don't know about naming her but I like to give her an o' slap sometimes if she's being a bitch

When I worked in support, I saw a few I liked; some not very... professional.

 

Weirdest was "ALCOPIG", and the funniest was "DONTTOUCHME" which was their infamous domain server that had a lot of issues..

People name their computers? O.o"

 

oh you mean give the PC a name on that thingy on Windows? I think I put a pony name there like Starlight Glimmer or something.

[Pokemoneuro]

I don't have a specific name for my PC. But to find it on the network, that's pretty easy since it's just my name with PC behind it

[Oshino Shinobu]

I came up with a name because I did a build log for it, so felt like I needed one. Other than that, I tend not to name computers/cars and such.

Yep it's in my signature below.

SpeedLine = gaming pc

RedLine = secondary gaming pc

WhiteLine BlackLine = back-up gaming pc (basically old RedLine

BlueLine = laptop for school

PurpleLine = netbook that runs XP for old games and printer

WhiteLine = old-school pc with a case made from K'nex

 

edit: i also accidentally named a pc for a family member "hoe"... I usually name them Home but the m got lost.

There's a sort of sad story behind it.

My parents are divorced so that's why it might look so much.

 

BlueLine moves with me because it's for school but the rest of them stay where they are.

Trixy wouldn't be a bad name for a PC actually.

bruh i have dual backups, first there is my main, then the LAN PC, then the toaster(if i can scavange a GPU from one of the previous builds) and then my laptop and after that shit gets REALLY desperate and i have my Linux miner(that crashes as soon as it starts mining incidently) with an I3 2120 and a 8800GT(just for testing out mining, nothing more) and i also have parts to assemble an AM3 system that could be decent and if ALL OF THAT somehow is dead, i have my first ever PC sitting beside me with a P4 and a Geforce 6600....

[Bananasplit_00]

my main computer will always be called "main computer", then i have my project PCs, the LAN PC and the Toaster Project but thats it, i dont give them specific names usiually, i call them by what they are used for. main computer is called that because its the system i spend 6+h of every day infront of, the Linux miner is just that, even though the pice of garbage refuses to work, and the LAN PC name is because thats exactly what it is, its a PC i take to LAN parties so my main system dosent break my back/gets stolen/gets looted.(the case is lots of kilos, GPU is more then 4kg, NH-D14 isnt light either and so on. its heavy AF) and my NAS is just the NAS, barely gets used at all so i havent even botherd getting a proper HDD for it so it just has a laptop drive thats kind of haning from the SATA connections lol

This too. Old but mostly beautiful internals in a HP workstation case, constantly staring at a drawer full of 1990s PCI cards and PSUs. Oh, and I bet it's drooling for the 4870 sitting on my desk waiting for a 6pin adapter.
