There is a thread that explains how to edit your own machine name into the System Profile display. I'm wondering what names people are thinking up. My Mac is a Dell laptop that I will either list as:

 

Dell MacTel -or- Mac iHack -or- iStole Mac

 

How about the rest of you?????

This is somewhat related, I usually name my hard drives and USB thumb drives as famous women. I have Paris Hilton, Ivanka Trump and a few others. So when my girlfriend asks for a file I have on my USB, I usually call it by name. "Just stick in Ivanka" .... at first she didn't like it, then I named one after her. :)

You have a nice taste in women. ;)

 

I have called mine: "The Pwninator."

I call mine the "Blackintosh" because I built it in one of the glossy black Antec cases, which seems to nicely contrast the "whiteness" (color, not race) of everything Apple. I stuck one of the white Apple stickers from my iPod on the side. It also rhymes with "hackintosh".

 

My drives/machine name are Doctor Who based:

 

Machine: Timelord

Main Drive: Gallifrey

Archive drive: Torchwood

TimeMachine drive: TARDIS (I couldn't resist the appropriateness of this)

 

I changed my drive icons to match.
