Laptop - DeepThought (kind of egotistical)
I knew I wasn't the only one. My desktop is DeepThought. My laptop is Marvin.
What do you call your box?

Mine were all states of matter.
Liquid
Gas
Plasma
Bose-Einstein (An appropriate name, considering it's a dual-cpu comp)
and my PDA's hostname is "Solid"
but for some reason I decided to give my Solaris box a hostname of "Killer-Tea-Cell" as a joke, because of a combined love for biology and tea.
A guy that worked with me on a cluster named all the computers he put in after scientists. Which was nice, as my Bose-Einstein box fit in perfectly when I added it, the best of both naming schemes.

Wedge was a character in Star Wars - were the rest?

This is true, and also given his website URL, I should've realised mrben would guess it!

A little off topic, but since we're quote RFC's you have to read my favourite: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2549.html (IP over Avian Carriers with Quality of Service) 
Why not refresh this page, especially if its rather dirty?
