Naming Electronics?

Whenever I get a new piece of tech, I try to think of a name for it. Usually a robot or cyborg from a fictional universe that I like.

For Example:
Playstation 3 is named Hal 10000 (the even more scary version of Hal 9000)
Old Gateway Laptop I named GLaDOS for no reason other than I like Portal.
New Macbook Laptop I named Core, since it has all my main data on it and I'm on it the most.
iPad I named Arm since I carry it everywhere and it competes with Core for my attention (Total Annihilation eff year)
Phone I unimaginatively named "The Droid" since that seems a good enough robotic name.

Does anyone else do this and if so, what are the names of your electro-goodies?

I don't really name my electronics, since I would be hard put to find an opportunity to address them.

My laptop is named Orthanc and my Zune is named EldritchZune. I only named them because they asked me to.
Yes, I name them because they make me, but I try to have fun with it. I think I may have been going a little far getting excited about my Total Annihilation reference though.

My old xbox 360 fans were rather loud and I used to keep it on my wooden desk at uni which made a crap load of noise so we nicknamed it "The Turbine" and it kinda stuck.
