No, not really - Yankee, because most of the components are imported from the States. LAN rig is called Tiny, for obvious reasons...
Last P4 I owned (Prescott) was called Murphy - also for obvious reasons!

lol, my dad calls his Toshiba "Toshi" as well. He also calls his Acer laptop "Acer", and his PC "Sapphire" (cause it has a Sapphire mobo and GFX card).

OK fair enough, something that looks like that should have a name, but most peoples PCs don't look like that.
