The Name of Your BoxFollow

... get your minds out of the gutter!

I was discussing the plans for a LAN party I am having at my house in March, and a friend mentioned that they had 7 computers. He called one "the laptop" and another Mini something.

So, what do you call your box? Since I have always had the biggest and best computer in the house, and it's self built, I call it "Monster" which is ironic considering that has become my favorite energy drink!

My spare, or mini work computer I call "The 2nd" and each kid's computer is referred to as "Trey's box" or "Kai's"

I reiterate, WHAT DO YOU CALL YOUR BOX?

Tweedledee and Tweedledum. Tweedledee is the box I built up, and my main gaming machine. Tweedledum is the box I liberated from work, and the one I use to peruse the boards and look up **** while I play.

The offical name of my computer a la the Windows field that says "Computer name" is Malfean. In the old World of Darkness role-playing game Wraith: the Oblivion, a malfean was an ancient, massive, god-like spectre and servant of Oblivion.

In reality, it's "the computer". "The computer" isn't really massive nor a god-king though it is getting fairly ancient in computer terms. And I don't think it serves Oblivion but I'm not around to watch it 24/7.

Oddly enough, I call it, "The box."

I divested myself of all my excess PC property before moving so I no longer require such descriptive names as "The Intel box" and "The AMD box" and "The old box."

Elne Here.

Actually both of our computer's go by our first names. I haven't named the p3 that I've loaded linux on yet, as I am waiting for son-in-law to connect it to my network.

With his schedule, I may get my computer back from the repair shop long before he shows up. Of course first I need to have my kid pick up my computer and take into the shop for me.

I'm hoping for a discount since her bF does all the remodeling and repairs on the store and their house.
