You could go with minicomputer model names... There's a number of them mentioned on the applicable Wikipedia page.
I actually used a Honeywell DPS-6 way back when, and I helped pack up a HP3000 when I started in my current job. I never got a chance to touch a PDP-8, CDC 1700 or VAX-11/780, though, and I hadn't heard of the Nord-1, SDS-92, or Prime 50 before reading the Wiki page...
