For those of you who like to build period correct systems (i.e. dream PC and all components from 1998) how do you choose the name of the PC? Since I am accumulating quite the pile of components and have built several already, and planning to build even more, I've been thinking how I'm going to name those PCs, for inventory purposes and just for identification. I know the name doesn't mean anything as far as the network goes (unless doing that good old serial connection or local LAN gaming) but I'm OCD about organization so my systems have to have a meaningful name, and also it's just fun. I've been thinking about coming up with a name based on important pop culture news or events that year or period of time, example, one of my later systems is a socket 775 build with 2008 components, and I've thought of naming it "BEIJING_GOLD" or something like that, because the Beijing summer olympics were that year and Michael Phelps set the record for swimming gold medals.

Just curious what others have come up with for names.

Can't go wrong with identifying with a "namefirstletter+CPU+clock" name on the network.
