Call me paranoid but revealing that is another way to link an IP/System to, in this case, forum user. The things you can find out with cross referencing...

I'd very much like to know how you expect to - using just the hostname of the PC - even begin to attempt to locate it on the internet somewhere in the world, much less go any further than that

Baby Blue. My favorite color is blue and I accidentally got blue everything for my computer set up, and my entire room..I didn't this realize until like a few weeks back, don't ask how.

 

but yeah, it's my first computer and I kind of accidentally have a mostly

blue set up so I thought it was fitting.

TitanONE 
Because its the first PC ive built, and because its similar to the Titan Gods, In which a Titan is below the Olympians but Still a powerful god. So I felt like it fit

i'm pretty sure there's been a thread like this, but eh, here we go:

- manikyath-SRV

- manikyath-PC (this one's actually a server as well...)

- mani-WHISPER (main rig, and its quiet xD)

- ownerPC (my laptop, samsung did it, didnt bother to change it)

- media-cen-durr (temporary media center test machine thing)

- ProblematicPenguin (it likes to catch fire, prefers the cold, runs linux)

- retropie (my PiModore, didnt bother to change it from default)

wait, "it likes to catch fire"?  So this has happened often enough that you just consider it normal operation at this point?   I want to see video of that next time it happens

its a micro atx case with a full size atx overclocking motherboard with a pentium 4, some ram that i dont trust as far as i can throw it, a dodgy hard drive, an FSP group power supply, a bodged OEM cooler, and a yate loon fan with a missing blade that was replaced with tape.

EDIT: oh and a 1MB s3 vga card from 1995

 

every time i want to do a build log on it it catches fire. i may send it in for booted if kyle does a budget season.

You must keep a fire extinguisher near by then  I can just picture it... you're working away normally, writing an email or something, and it lights up.  You just casually grab the extinguisher, give it a quick blast, and go back to typing 

[StarWarsKing]

Mine's named Frankenrig...

whenever i use it, i use it in a safe situation.

 

its mostly silly stuff like a fan motor that didnt like life anymore, or something else minor.

the power supply has been smokey before as well, but it magically repaired itself.

That's great, I love stuff like that

 

Have you checked out that "sketchiest hardware I've seen" thread... it was floating around here a few months back.  I think you might be able to make a good addition

it might be in there already, i vaguely remember posting something there, not sure what it was anymore, tho.

EDIT: nope, i put my old phone's "solution to micro usb" in there, not the pc, it probably caught fire when i tried to prove it works.

I've adopted a Water Pokémon-based naming scheme for my PCs.

 

Desktop: Floatzel

Laptop: Buizel

Tablet: Piplup

T40 (RIP): Omanyte

T60: Omastar

Inspiron 5100: Tirtouga

560Z: Kabuto

 

Gonna keep up that naming scheme when I get my server up and running, which I will be naming Slowking.

[charliesmbdy]

My Little Pony Express

Not quite sure why now, but still think its quite fun

 

Edit: Just saw OP's profile picture. How perfect.

[lefthanded_legend]

I call her "RedLine"

So I read the name "RedLine" and I think "Oh, this is probably a really cool looking hardline build with red coolant or something...", so I go to your profile and look at your specs under 'cooling' to confirm and I see "Stock cooler (pls don't hurt me)".

...

It's like you planned that.

[givegomezthegun]

I mostly refer to it as... "the computer"

[Arct1c0n]

"DarkWind II"  Gaming rig

 

 

 

 

 

"IceLair II"  HTPC

 

 

 

 

[SansVarnic]

My computer.

 

*edit

I normally use Roman names;

Acilia Porcia translated is My Computer.

I don't know actually, I was going to let people decide for me if it was a nice name.

 

It's a 5.5L chassis with an i3 (later a Xeon) and an R9 380 Compact (later an R9 Nano or Polaris card). Smallest I've seen, I think I've actually defined a whole new standard in SFF, considering the smallest SFF on the market is the Dan Case A4, which is 7.8L if I recall and it's not even out yet. Then the SG13 and all are next which are like 11L in size.

 

Man I can't wait to build it

5.5L? It's clearly a V8 then.

Too bad I don't like Mercedes.... Dang.

[KirbyTech]

I use a basic naming convention, starting at 001 and climbing up to what ever the latest number on the network is. Also if it is another person's computer I call it their name if I am doing a fresh install.
