Naming your new machine

In the place where I work, there's a trend of naming all the desktops/laptops/servers with names out of the "Asterix" comic books. Once those were all over (yes there's one named justforkix), people started inventing names ending with "ix".

Due to obvious lack of creativity, machines end up with names like karvix, utix, and other such nonsense. Now I got a new machine yesterday. A 3.4GHz, dual core, 2GB Ram and 2 80GB HDDs, 128 MB graphics card (of unknown origin as yet). All in all a very nice desktop (understatement of the year :) ). So I decided to get a little creative with the name and christened it "matrix". Yup that was unused.

Then I got thinking of all the nice names that people could give their machines ending with "ix". It took a couple of hours and a lot of vetoed (by my wife) attempts to come up with this list:
1. idlidosamix (idli dosa mix)
2. shittingbrix (shitting bricks)
3. bugsnofix (bugs no fix)
4. stonesnstix (stones and sticks)
5. cameraclix (camera clicks)
6. ihitasix (I hit a six)
7. ihaterix (I hate ricks)
8. newyorknix (New York Knicks)
9. nakedpix (naked pics)
10. madebygix (made by geeks)

You guys are welcome to add more, let the list continue :).
