Name this computer...

Turkeybrain went to a computer auction last week - and offered to buy me a cheap computer there. It's a HP DC7100 - and it's going to replace my current media center PC (Jadesfire) so it can go on to better and brighter things as part of Project Mara.

So this new PC is going to be plugged into my TV to let me watch stuff directly. I was planning to get a small PC like this for that role - and this suits it perfectly.

My dilemma: I'm not sure what to name this PC. I'll probably come up with something myself - but I figured I'd throw it out there and see if anyone had any good ideas.

So here's your chance to make history - what should I name this computer?

Existing PC Names in my household:

• Phaeton
• Mara
• Jade
• Jadesfire
• Karlendorf
• Gurney
• Wanderer
• Trinity
• Dofus
• Drongo

You really need to have a naming scheme. So far I've got more names than I have compuers!

I agree with Darth Oblivion:  GLaDOS is the first to come to mind, especially for controlling a media center. 

Others:  Risa, Moldy Crow (one ship for another), Nar Shaddaa. 

Good luck figuring out the appropriate name.

Whats that name that you had lined up for when you got a cat (except that Neptune came with a name attached) - Rothgarden or something?

You could use that.

Rothgar.

And it didn't really suit Neptune.

How about "More work?" said in the same manner as peasants in Warcraft 3?

MCP?

Also the dudes from hak5 have a cat called kerby as in kerberos.

you have a computer named Mara? Kane wanted us to name Mara Kate "Mara Jade". He didn't win...completely.

Ha!
