The way I've been naming computers for about a decade now is formfactor, intent, and architecture. So you end up with SBC-MUSIC-ARM, TOWER-SERVER-INTEL, LAPTOP-TEMP-AMD, and so on and so forth. It's great so long as you don't have more than about fifteen computers. For a while there were three desktops in one room all dedicated to rendering, so they received names that when read in order were a nod towards a certain film: 1TOWER-RED, 2TOWER-ON, and 3TOWER-YOU.
