It's sort of a theme at my office, because several people have been building/supplying machines to the office and each have their own conventions.

I've brought in one laptop, had one new laptop, and built one desktop, each of which were named after characters in my favourite manga; this is the convention I use at home.

My other-side-of-the-office co-worker had one named after his username, and one named after himself.

I think the boss left his at the default OS-generated name.

The print server has been four things-- a manga character (when I set it up), two references to its processor class, and finally, the colour of its case, thus assuring that the network printer setup changes on a regular basis.

I think I should name the new box we're getting... what's a good name for bland uATX P4/2.8 box? Maybe 'ishimaru', from the deliberately average minor character in Eyeshield 21.
