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?????

MacHack Pro =)

All i have to say is we all have taken a big bite out of the apple!

I refer to it as my Mhack

Mine is HP Pavilitosh. :-)

Jennifer

Zangetsu

+1 to anyone who knows what that is.

It's the name of Ichigo Kurosaki's sword of course!!

Desktop - OS X Partition: "Mirage"
Desktop - XP Partition: "Mercure"
Laptop: "Mystere"

iPod 5G: "Dauphin"
iPod nano: "Ecureuil"

Cell phone: "Exocet"

500 points for guessing which industry all of this refers to.

Is there somebody here that can give me somes ideas. My pc is a Acer Travelmate.
Waiting yours names.

Thanks

HackBook Extreme

Gasp. A Zanpakutoh isn't a sword!

err?

@ BOL_fan - Aerospace. Mine is a MacBook.

What is it then...

I went with MacDell on my Ispiron E1505 Laptop, and MacFake Pro on my Desktop

I went with Macbook on my Black Macbook

Mac Faux

I usually name a machine by model or by some famous person. For example, my server's name is Bonaparte and my desktop's name is simply HP

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."

That wouldn't be pokemon would it?

Think Mark

It's a "soul slayer." What looks like a sword is really the spirit of the soul slayer living inside.

Rockets

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.

Caspar, Balthazar & Melchior.

All mine are named after the various colonies from Battlestar Galactica.

@ Berzerker:
Well.....IT'S a SWORD then ISN't IT???

"QUOTE(Sabr @ Dec 8 2007, 05:41 PM) What is it then... "

Dassault

umm ..as long as said device has a hilt and a blade, regardless of what the blade is "made" of, and you use it to cut, slice, stab, etc ..i think it's still called a sword.

Fakintosh Pro lol

Yes... I'm a gamer geek.

Main Desktop: Stormwind (Pretty much everything, P4 (Soon Core2Duo) WinXP MCE '05/Vista Premium)
Secondary: Stromgarde (Old G4 Quicksilver/AMD 3800+ Hackintosh -- Both are currently out of comission.)
Media Center: Darnassus (cause its far away, in the living room. WinXP MCE '05)
Laptop: Ironforge (Design/Development platform, Dell 1505 Hackintosh)
Router: Dalaran (Well defended by an inpenetrable bubble [ACL])

Desktop = My Computer
Laptop = Macintosh HD
Router = Router

Lol

Mine is just Hackint0sh HD

There's been ambiguity in some posts. The original post asked a model name, not a specific instance name for a machine.

Model names (as in System Profiler):
All of my laptops with Mac OS X are called HacBook.
All of my desktops with Mac OS X are called Hac Pro.

Instance names (or Computer Names as in Sharing of System Preferences, or the names shown in Finder or Network):
I usually go with mathematician names.
One of my HacBooks is called Fermat (because it's kind of showing off).
One of my Hac Pros is called Euler (because it does all the number crunching work).

Hard disk names:
For each Hac Pro (or HacBook), I have at least two partitions for Mac OS X. One for the OS itself, the other for the user area. I call the former with suffix -ian and the later Users. For example, Fermat's OS partition is called Fermatian and the user partition is called Users. My Time Machine partition is called Chronicles, and my storage for application images is called Archives.

External storage names:
This one goes with colors.
My USB thumb drive is called RED because it's red.
My iPod mini is called PINK because it's pink.

For a while I started naming my HDDs after mythological gods:

Primary: Titan
Media: Atlas
Time Machine: Kronos

Now I just use the greek alphabet, because I have too many to keep track of... Sigma, Theta, Zeta, Kappa, Delta, Gamma, Omega....

Desktop: The Monster (it used to be )
Laptop: Zepto iNote 6314W (in short just "iNote" - runs OS X flawlessly)

For me, computers & devices are named after starships, from Star Trek or Stargate:

Main Desktop (Hackintosh): Enterprise
Laptop (15" PowerBook G4): Defiant
iMac G3: Daedalus (BC-304 from Stargate Atlantis)
Smartphone (Samsung Blackjack): Odyssey (another BC-304 from SG-1)
iPod Mini: Apollo (BC-304 from SGA)
Zune30: Treadstone (the only one that's not a ship, points to those who know where this is from)

Hard drives are named after Covenant ships, from the Halo mythos:

Main boot: High Charity
500 GB Storage/Media drives: Sacred Promise, Relentless Archetype
Portable 80 GB drive: Purity of Spirit
Time Machine External HD: Pious Inquisitor
Old Lacie External: Ascendant Justice
New 250 GB External: Twilight Compunction

Isn't Treadstone from The Bourne Identity? That is the name of the program the assassins where apart of?

Correct! I thought it was a cool sounding name, so I went for it.

My Powermac is called - Ted 'Bundy'

Mine are Hacktop and Hackship

Macbook - Bender
Powermac - Leela
iPhone - Kif
Linux server - Zoidberg
windows machine I never use - Scruffy
