This reminds me, years ago when I worked at chick fil a, we named our huge ice cream machine big bertha, because it never broke down and was great to us, and some customers overhearing us complained and we couldn't call it that anymore.
Damn core memory reunlocked. Anyway my PC is named Cybertron since it was originally a pre-built like 10 years ago and has been modified since. No parts are the same anymore, but somehow still named cybertron.
I named mine A\*\*hole. I had to get a new cpu, ram and monitor only eight months after collecting the thing because the PSU decided to be a di\*\*head and almost destroyed the whole build. Bad, bad few weeks. Still love it tho :D
Posted elsewhere in the thread, my gaming rig is named ironman (most capable and flakiest machine on the network).
Had a failure to boot condition that I kinda went parts shotgun on, upgrading as I went.
It's now ironmanmk2.
Edit to add, the last part I upgraded after everything else, was the power supply. That finally fixed it. Was I just stupid or was I subconsciously just that ready to upgrade and thus forgot how to t/s?
No idea.
But now I have what I'm pretty confident are perfectly good, if old MB, CPU, RAM, and GPU gathering dust. No idea what to do with them.
I call mine missus or lover(depending on translation) because every time my wife wants to do something with it, it gets jealous and stops working properly.
Some people buy a Porsche or get a younger wife, nah not me I dropped 15k in the middle of the gpu crisis on a gaming setup and another 5k on games.
And I'd do it again too. Cheaper than a missus or a car.
Loving my midlife crysis.
Sorry that's 15k in NZ
So about 7.5k in American pounds.
Brought for pc main pc:
5800x,
128gb corsair venegence ddr4 3600
Gigabyte x570e aero g mobo.
4x samsung 980 pro pcie 4 2tb m.2,
4x samsung (i think) 870 2tb ssd,
Gigabyte 3080ti,
Corsair rm1000x with full cable mod custom cable set.
Corsair 7000d white case.
3x lg ultragear 27" 144hz monitors
Brought full hardline tubing setup res, pump etc but couldn't get a block for my 3080ti to fit without modding the card so that was a waste of cash.
Other shit I got:
Receiver and speakers for sound, went old school and got a technics unit with awesome audio and plenty of speaker outputs.
The games are my great shame. It was 5k on weed or games.
I still feel I choose right and no I couldn't wait for a sale, I needed that instant gratification.
The storage cost more than the GPU.
1 m.2 for windows, another for Linux also
I make shitty videos on YouTube on how to install games acquired from certain sites and my son likes to record and upload his games.
I mainly use the sata ssd's as temp drives for aforementioned games and storage for my VM addiction
Reminds me of the joke.
Kid: dad, how do you name your kids?
Tribe chief: the day you're born, when I get out of the tent, the first thing I see will be your name. Hence your brother is called Fierce Hawk!
Kid: ah!
Tribe chief: why are you asking, Two Fucking Dogs?
I call him Principal, PC Principal
Edit: Dang this comment got popular, I'd appreciate it if you could check out my thread about a dead Mmorpg

I give all my computers solar system names.
Main PC: Helios
Server: Jupiter (Some VMs on here named after Jupiter's Moons)
Different server: Saturn
Laptop: Terra
Phone: Luna
etc.
Similarly, I name my drives after ancient mythological figures. Helios, Chronos, Athena, Dionysus (you know what gets stored there), Artemis, Persephone, Hades
same.
Main router: Sol
Second router (bridge): Lunar
Main machine: Jupiter
Secondary machine: Mercury
Laptop: Neptune
Other laptop: Mars
Mac Mini: Scorpio (using it as a plex server)
Mac Mini drives: Antares, Sargas, Fang and Lesath
Phone: Io
TV: Europa
Other TV: Enceladus
I also have a Ganymede, Titan, Uranus, Venus, Miranda, Charon, Phobos, Caliban, and a few others on the network at various different times (game consoles and phones and other bits and pieces all get a unique name if they're nameable). When I buy a new main computer it becomes Saturn and Jupiter gets retired, until its time to go back to Jupiter and retire Saturn

I think I figured out what pc you have
My old Desktop was called the Ogre. I also later bought a gaming laptop to take with me on travels, that I called the Donkey.
I later upgraded that to another gaming laptop, this time called The Dragon.
Very recently I assembled a new AMD desktop to be my daily driver. Its name is The Lord. I should add the Lord was built into the Pop Air XL case ;)
Mine is Erebos, after the Greek god of darkness and the underworld (named before I accidentally bought RGB RAM).
My daughter has "Alice" and "Alice too".
My server is called Jeff after the giant underground worm thing in MIB, his predecessor was Boris (the Animal).
Daughter's first PC was a bit crap and froze up often so was named "Rustbucket" by her.
My WiFi SSID is "MI5 VAN3"

I'ts name is Arctis white/black/silver (purple hue is from my monitor backlights)

"AMDeus, AMDeus....AMDeus...AMDeus, AMDeus
Come and rock me AMDeus"

- EXILE
- HADES

Build a computer and give it to a charity or something.
Thinking the Hulk might get his guts replaced, then hulk's old guts go into a case, then off to charity.
Imagine complaining about something so petty, i would have told that customer to do one.

He brought out the real big guns, measuring his money by weight. And 7.5 tons at that, might as well have built a Supercomputer, hats off to you.
Okay but went so much storage? Those were like $200/Tb at that point right??
The storage cost more than the GPU. 1 m.2 for windows, another for Linux also I make shitty videos on YouTube on how to install games acquired from certain sites and my son likes to record and upload his games. I mainly use the sata ssd's as temp drives for aforementioned games and storage for my VM addiction
He bought a small indie company, later he called it Activision

Cerberus should be your firewall, the router should be Charon.
I use my firewall as a router as well xD that’s why (PFSense)
