I've been using SecondFloor and ThirdFloor for desktops that I bought new, and if I get another new computer.. FourthFloor, with the domain Utopia.hai. My firewall is named Insanity, my wireless router is named Dlink :\. After I decide on a hostname for a case I never change it even if I change the mainboard. Now that I'm using floors it's easy to know what future computers will be named, but if I get an old computer I'll probably name it something else.
