Here are just some of the most notable computers in my collection
Yes, I'm the type of weirdo who names their electronic devices - what can I say, I'm a sentimental bitch

This page is a work in progress, what's left to do:
- Add photos,
- Add notes to "no longer working" list.
Here are some of my still-working machines.
Aphelion is my desktop PC and was named after the spaceship from Ratchet and Clank series. I mostly use it to play games and waste time watching youtube.
Currently specs below.
Original [v1 - 2020] version was running 8GB of RAM and AMD Ryzen 3400G with its iGPU, in a generic new-old-stock beige case from 90s.
Later, it was upgraded [v2 - 2022] with a Gigabyte RTX 3060 (12 GB VRAM version) and a cheap, modern case from Aerocool (which was an absolutely dreadful case).

Xenia is my Thinkpad X61 laptop, named after a Linux mascot that lost to Tux.
And just like that underdog (underfox?) of a mascot, it quickly became my favourite machine I have.
Sadly, the backlight is slowly dying on it, and I don't have the money to buy the LED replacement kit that some folks are selling (shrug) - this and maybe RAM upgrade are planned for [v2].
It may be underpowered for the big 2020s, it may look like something from the bygone era, and the previous owner didn't take the best care of it. But it's still my favorite machine I have.
Before Xenia became my favorite laptop, there was Michiru - Asus EeePC 1001PXD, named after a character from "BNA: Brand New Animal". I mainly bought it because it was dirt cheap, and I needed something to replace my broken T420. This laptop served me very well before I had Xenia. Small, portable, good battery life, enough power to write down notes, browse some indie-web, check emails, and listen to music. Currently, I hook it up to my stereo from time to time, using it as a jukebox of sorts. I still think netbooks should make a comeback, they are perfect size!
Tabitha is my currently used laptop, and my main computer - Fujitsu Lifebook U758, I've named it after one of my OCs. Fun fact - I'm writing this on that laptop right now, while sitting on the floor and shrimping lol. I bought it quite recently at my company's hardware resale. It's definitely much faster than my previous laptops, and it didn't cost me an arm and a leg. Can't say a lot about it as I've only used it for a month or so, but it's nice to have a laptop with a working battery and a good display lol. I'm rocking Linux Mint with MATE desktop environment on it.
Nevada was my previous laptop, right before Tabitha. I don't remember why I called it Nevada - it's a mystery to both me and you, dear reader. It's a Dell Latitude 5310. To be honest, I've bought it just to have something with a working backlight lol. Can't say I've enjoyed my time with it. It has a lot of small annoyances that when combined, make me not want to use it at all. The screen is low-res, with bad viewing angles and washed-out colors. The keyboard is slightly below okay. The charging takes ages, and battery life is terrible. It runs loud and hot even after cleaning and repasting it. It'll stay in storage until I figure out what the hell to do with it.
Since I don't think of them as "computers" in a normal sense, I'll put them here as "honorable mentions".
Starting with Arkanis - a VPS that runs a Minecraft server for my friends and me on-and-off since 2021. It was named after my base on some now-forgotten Minecraft server. We've started with beta 1.7.3, moving to up-to-date versions later on. From time to time, we did what we call "sidequests" and run something different on the server - be it modded Minecraft or a challenge map like skyblock. I've made so many great memories on that server, in time we'll be back on it again, when a two-week Minecraft phase will call to us again.
Second server mentioned - Luxray - is my personal 2-bay NAS I have at home that I bought used, mainly to run Jellyfin and send files between all of my devices. It's been a godsend when it comes to keeping track of my files. If you have a bit of a datahoarding problem like me, I highly recommend getting a NAS.
For now, it's just a list, I'll write something more when I get more time I guess:
