Catchy name that Will.

I normally refer to my computers as 'rigs'. I don't know why though. My main pc at the moment is called 'X180', the one before that 'Dragon1', before that 'Old purple sides'

I sometimes refer to mine as a rig, mainly due to Folding@Home as Stan's already said - but also since it's a CM Stacker you could bolt 18 wheels on it (well actually it already has 4 fitted so part of the way there already) and fill it up with goods for long distance transportation

As for giving it a name - nope not on your life, I believe the first time I referred to my computer as a female my missus would probably throw me out of the house

This machine is currently called X2-3800 derived from the latin for "now getting pwned by Core2Duo's everywhere"

Noisy pos is what my main rig gets called

My main pc is called main, my backup pc with all my important stuff on is called backup and my laptop is called..... laptop Go figure.

My Car is called whore because I pay loads every time I use it and get f***** every time

Umm.. unimaginatively, my main PC is called Garp. My 'ickle SFF linux box is called Tiddles.

Always referred to my own machines as rigs, cant remember where that came from. All my machines are named after the core of the chip that's in them. I've had/have Barton, Toledo, Northwood, Yonah, Dempsey, Woodcrest (soon) and Dothan.

Well Phoenix is a Barton, the only decent chip I've had...

She outperforms a dual Xeon system and a 64bit 4000+ system though, which is odd :/

Glad to see other people using the term 'rig' as well

For me a "Rig" is a parachute system! So I can never use it for a PC I'm afraid.

The Dual Xeon should easily outperform the Barton though
