I do!

Blackbird - IBM Netfinity, dual P3 server
Zero - Compaq Proliant, P3 server
MiG - Dell Dimension, P4
Halifax - Sun 450, quad Sparc server
Lightning - Custom, Core Duo
Dal - G3 iMac, dalmatian edition
Ambler - IBM Intellistation, P3

Ambler and Dal are the only ones not named after an aircraft.  Dal because, well, the dalmatian coloring is rather striking.  Ambler came pre-named.

I have a named computer, but I didn't name it. I don't name anything but pets.

The lab I worked in over the summer had a cluster of 500 CPUs clled the wookie cluster, cause the prof's last name was Woo.

I call the rundown dell in my room old crumbly-instead of turn off my computer option when you log off, it says turn off old crumbly. :D

I'm currently in top position by a huge margin BUT I'm intentionally dropping down to the bottom.

About half of 'my' boxes have some sort of human-recognizable hostname.

Omniserver - Salvage Dell with a PIII in it
Rodent - Salvage dell with a slower PIII in it

This is going to sound really geeky, but my family's computer is named Sanya. >.< As in the mother of Martin the Warrior. My sister and I named it, my dad just thought it was so we could say "Sanya the Sony".

RWLers, your wish is my command...as long as it complies with the rules.

Ah, but living on campus means no pets for me.  Other than fish.  And I'm still leak-testing my fishtank.
