Name for a Computer Building Business?

    So I have everything I need to start my own business this summer: a business plan, product designs, and financing. The only thing I don't have figured out is the name. I have thought of a few and was wondering if you guys would give me any pointers.
    Putnam Computers - My last name is Putnam and PC would be a pretty awesome initial for a computer company
    Colossal Machines
    Colossal Computers
    Mammoth Machines
    EggHead Machines

    Any suggestions/like any of them?

    I guess that was pretty good. Your potential customers and clients can easily remember your business name.

    ...I know from personal experience how frustrating it is to find that perfect business name.
    From the list you gave, it all sounds a but to 'thesaurus'ish.
    I have some questions, which can help allow me to give some better insight:
    1) Is the business targeting local or global markets/audience?
    2) Do you want your business' image/name to be creative or direct? (For example: EggHead Machines is more "creative" and Colossal Computers is more direct)

    Honestly, I like Putnam PC's -- cool name and flows with PC :)

    That sounds nice. Do you source for the parts manually?

    Your name idea sounds the most proffessional. The rest sound like they could be a joke. However your name idea does sound a bit bland. The colossal machines sounds fairly exciting. I would go with that if you want to target an online market. However if you're doing a store type thing then going for the proffessionalism would be best I think.

    I think I'll go with Putnam Computers, I'm going to start out selling small desktops with mainly small form factor motherboards like Mini-ITX and Micro ATX. Probably going to have fairly sheap processors and onboard video chip sets to start out with. I'd have RAM, HDD, and CPU upgrades available. I'll create a mock-up of my store over the next couple of days.

    Putnam Computers or Putnam PCs sound the best to me. Good luck with your business!
