ThugBox <= Current main machine: too many 'thug' [generic] parts
BirdBox <= AMD machine-to-be: Tbird, duh
MeBox <= What's left of TB after BB^: running WinMe
GimpBox <= 486/66-router-to-be: old and inept
SpudBox <= HP Jornada 548: the little one of the bunch

Yeah, I name 'em. I name 'em good. Anyone wanna guess the WORKGROUP?

well....i dont give mine a name per say, but i do call it a "son-of-a-*****" every now and again...pointing at the hard drive, cpu of just the tower in general, as if it where alive, and hoping my "pep" talk will get it moving again.

The only name I use for them is their "given" (network) name.
