For those interested:
My main rig was built from the ground up by me.
I bought the Vivostick because I wanted to see it in action. This thing is the size of a candy bar!
The Dual P3 rig was built by me as a pet project, for the purpose of seeing such a strange rig in action.
All the HP PC's were given to me by friends and family (used).
The Dell 435MT was also given to me. I might use it for Pro Tools.
The Dell PowerEdge Server I bought for the sake of having a system with an obscene amount of cores, and didn't do quite enough research beforehand. I might use it for video editing or as a file server, or just get rid of it.

Just thought I'd post some notes I wrote while brainstorming recently.
Main Rig: Trident-- 3-way SLI, Trident RAM, fairly powerful
VivoStick: maybe something to do with candy bars
Dual Pentium 3: Dualatin, Double Header, something to do with Gemini
Core 2 Quad: Quincy (the PC used to be my mother's. Quincy was a show she used to watch)
T410 Server: Hydra
Dell 435MT: maybe something that means standard, reliable, good enough, etc.
HP notebook: maybe something that means underdog. It's weak, but not quite worthless.

I usually try to pick names from a group of related characters. My systems in the past ten years or so have been named after the malebranche of Dante's Divine Comedy. A friend named his after the Eva units from Evangelion.
Characters from a favorite movie or series works fairly well, imho.

You have 7, you could name them after the 7 Dwarves lol

Hi!
I've been fiddling with my various PC's lately, most of which are old PC's that I've upgraded in some form, and I was thinking they would benefit from having names to help distinguish them better from one another.
Don't get me wrong, most of my PC's are quite different from each other already, but I think having names makes them easier to talk about--I also think it's a fun idea.
I've even been considering making videos about them. Inspired by the various benchmark videos I've watched when researching graphics cards and processors, as well as Youtube channels such as Low Spec Gamer, PhilsComputerLab, and LGR, I thought it might be neat to make some benchmark videos of my own (with no plans to become a Youtuber, though).
So if this sounds interesting to you, maybe help me out!
