You can easily name your hard drives, including partitions, as well as the machine as a whole. It's not like its one being, as you can technically take pieces of it and put them into another PC and they'd work fine - especially the harddrives.

So giving them all their own names makes the most sense - as a computer is not ONE thing but a bunch of trash put in a box together.

Yeah, but you need to be a total idiot to buy incompatible parts....
motherboards have the processor generation they're intended for all over them, cpu's have the socket type printed on the label, AGP GPU's barely exist anymore (plus, it's a very different connection than PCI-e) and even if someone is stupid enough to buy an IDE HDD, 99% of the motherboards still have IDE connectors.
about the ram, it's as simple as "DDR, DDR2, DDR3". that's all.
I manage a small computer store for a living, assembling, fixing, selling computers n' shit.
Assembling them is like a big kit of legos, about cable management etc.- you don't need to go overboard, just tie things up so it wouldn't completely ruin the airflow, that's all.
-On the other hand, i make so much money from those "OMG ALL WIRES SHOULD GO BEHIND THE MOTHERBOARD TRAY" kids, can't really complain.

Technically all HD's "stand alone" as you can simply take them out of your PC and put them in a case and oops its now an 'external hard drive'.

This is why it isn't one entity - because each hard drive is it's own thing, you can toss it in a different computer and it'll still work with the same information, you can put it in a case and use it as an external/portable HD, etc.

>> No.2850277

If you're going to give your computer a degree of anthropomorphism, I say go all out.
For example, mine could be an overachiving class rep type that doesn't know when she's trying to handle too much. She just goes "I can do it, don't worry, I can do it" and get all slow.
She only has a single gig of ram, but she tries her best and believes she's the best there is. To spare it the embarrassment, I don't install anything that would tax her crappy graphics card.

Even though she has died before and wiped out all of our memories together, her sisters managed to save most of her. She acts as if nothing wrong happened, but we both know. So now she keeps a detailed journal and keeps her everyday stuff separated from the rest.
She likes her new clothes and makes her feel not only prettier but faster. Yuriko would be her name.

Too bad I don't do this. It's just named Navi and I'm going to leave it behind. It served me well for years, but it's starting to show its age.

Must not be as you made a point of an external HD being different from the rest - but all it is, is a normal harddrive in a case that gives it a power supply and a connection to the computer. So just doing this yourself would achieve the same result as the hard drives packaged and sold as 'external hard drives'.
