Mine = Athlon64 3200+
Home = Sempron 2600+
Dad's = Centrino 2.2
Very unimaginative, but it works!!!

My PCs are "TuffGuy" and "Jerky". They were nicknames my little sister and I had for each other before she died. It makes me smile every time I connect.

I went a bit further than Cerebro and named my desktop and notebook, repectively:
HAL9001 and HAL9002
I'm a big sci-fi fan and 2001 rulez!

My main computer, a home build, I call “Triple A” for All ASUS & ATHLON. Heck I even stuck the silver and red AAA insurance sticker on the case. The P III Gateway is used for back-up and emergencies and called simply “The Backup”. For when I want to work outside I use an old Winbook J my Mother was tossing out, Upgraded it to XP and made it wireless, now it’s called my “Decktop”.

P.S. I still get strange comments when I call my computers by name, it’s so nice to direct them to this forum.

Dell8300 and Weeble
both where named in lack of a better name. Weeble is my laptop. And I called my desktop Dell8300 because my brain just when "dhuuuuuuuuuuhrrrrrr" when I tried to think of a name. Eventually I just named it the obvious to get it up and running as I wanted to play around with my brand new computer.

My computers names are mostly all named after Egyptian gods. (I'm into Egyptology. Sue me. 
)
My desktop is Ra (the sun god and kinda the head man of the outfit), my Tablet PC is named Thoth (the god of scribes and...well...it needs a stylus to work, right?), my wife's lappy is Sekhmet (because that was the first female one who came to mind when I needed to name it on the network), and our web server is named Ubuntu. Because I was unimaginative at the time.
Now, my desktop has another name, too. It's "You Sack o'...." You might well imagine why.

At work we have 3 servers: This, That, and Other
My PC is simply Einstein - It is just an extension of me.

People name their computers? Your kidding? My computer is It and that's the extent of our relationship even though I spend hours a day playing with it. I don't think naming your computer is healthy. Or your car. Or your house like they do in England. Or ... well ... I was going to say something else but it's kind of a guy thing.

Mine is Colossus and my wife's is Guardian. One of the file servers is Matrix and the other is Orac.
The Matrix name is not from the movie. Dr. Who fans will know were it came from.

I should have called my old pc 'P.O.S.' but didn't. I should call my new pc 'Sexy' but haven't...
