Contest: Name that company!

CyberGenX
I have recently sold 49% my computer company to a group of investors wanting to expand on my model. I have been put in charge of naming this new computer company. I have come up with about 60 or so names but I wouldn't mind getting some fresh ideas.

What is the point of multi-channel sound?

pmistry
Ok maybe 3D sound effects, and bombardment of sound around you. But when playing games, the 4 speaker system I have. . . sucks compared to a 2 speaker setup.
