My "RIG"
[rant]

Anyone else find the term "rig" when referring to your own computer as annoying to the point of a facial "wince"?

It is like pulling a bicep pose and saying look at my "pipes". puke:

It`s not a term that I use very often, if at all.

It certainly doesn`t bother me

What is it about the term "rig" that annoys you?

lol, I've never heard the term used yet. I think of a "rig" as like a well drilling rig or maybe a large moving truck.
So then, fill in the blank of what you like best:

"I just upgraded, so check out my " [blank] "now!"

I would proabably use the term "system".

System specs
I have no probs with it being called that - though I don't know anyone who does. I usually call mine either "my machine" or "my baby."
