Naming your gaming rigs

[Wolfram23]

Mine is called Zeus. Originally it was Ninja-PC, but I upgraded it and thought it needed a name fitting it's godly powers, but God-PC was a little too arrogant.

 

[Elate]

It's big, black and intimidating. /cough

I call it The Monolith.

 

[ImperialSunlight]

As silly as it is, I did this.
PC: The Fisher King
PS3: Lancelot
XBOX360: Agravain
XBOX: The Green Knight
Wii: Galahad
NGC: Pelinore
N64: Arthur
TurboGrafx 16: Uther
DS: Guenevere
3DS: Elaine
GBC: Gawaine
GBA: Merlin

After Arthurian legend, obviously.

 

[razerdoh]

My current rig is "Lucy Mk II". My next rig, parts will arrive in a couple of weeks, will be named "Lucy Mk III"

 

[DazZ.]

Currently this system is called Shire under Windows and Rivendale under Linux.

Should really rename the crappy thing downstairs "Gollum's cave"

 

[LilithSlave]

My PS2: Worn out and non-functional. Bet you can't guess what the issue is, it rhymes with taser and starts with L...

It's not very difficult to clean PlayStation 2 laser lenses.

 

[TheKaduflyerSystem]

(When I'm in a good mood) Kaduflyer's System
(in a bad mood) The Craptop

 

[Sleipnir]

I only really name my computers and ipods, my netbook is "The Impala", my computer is "Nopholom", my ipod is "The Titanic" (lamest joke in ipod history, the titanic is syncing), phone is "Loki".

Off the top of my head though, my PS3 is pretty much "The DVD player", my Xbox is "Xbox", my Wii is "why god why?" and my DS is just "Theo's DS"

 

[Necroid_Neko]

My laptop's named Anathema Device, because I'm not entirely sure what's going on with it and if I could I'd hide a breadknife in the defunt disk drive.
On a somewhat related note, I renamed my two memory sticks as Lore and Data, it felt appropriate.

 

[ms_sunlight]

I name all the PCs at work, since I invariably end up setting them up. We've quite a few machines on a LAN so they do need names. I usually name them after gemstones (Ruby, Onyx). My home gaming PC is called Clearwater.

 

[Denamic]

Edward.
Because I really like Edward from Cowboy Bebop.

 

[Exile714]

Every wifi device in my house is named after a corresponding ship in Homeworld. Naturally, my desktop is called "Mothership" and my laptop "Carrier."

Also: iPad-Battlecruiser; iPhone-Destroyer; External Hard Drive-Resource Controller; Printer/Scanner-Resource Collector; SLR Camera (wifi memory card)-Sensor Array; Apple TV-Support Frigate; Xbox-Ion Cannon Frigate; Blu Ray-Defense Field Frigate; Parrot Drone-Probe.

I like having a theme.

Maaaan. I read through that awesome manual like 100 times, re-reading all the ship specs over and over and over. I should try playing it again. Back in the day it just barely ran on my system.

 

[hazabaza1]

Hank. Hank sounds like a nice, graceful name.

 

[Jinxzy]

N64 : The nintendo
PS2/PS3 : The system
Laptop : My tie to sanity
PSP : ... it.
GBC/GBA/NDS: The gameboy
Xbox/360 : the xbox
My old desktop : Frustration in a box. aka Load ... um ... give it a second ... ing.

Your PSP name made be laugh.

OT:
Computer: My Baby
Xbox: Mean Green
DS: Princess (reason being it's the only system I put cute stickers and charms on. It's not pink it's gray.)
PSP: Paper Weight
PS3: Imagination/Sack Boy. (it has the faceplate of the sack boy on it.)

 

[Gnarynhar]

My first laptop was Shiroi, it's replacement, Shiroini, and my current one is Ginchi.

And one of my brother's PCs is called Dancetron, as it's first main use was running Stepmania, I can't remember what his other one is called.

 

[Maleval]

It has been done. The noble machine has been christened The Corvette in keeping with the whole sailing the cyber sea theme and because fuck it, Alestorm was playing in the background.

 

[Jacksoni]

I call my glorious selfbuilt pc "kone". I used to call it "fat fuck" until I got an upgrade
