Case Statement - VB/WMI Script / Need formatting help/advice

Hi,

I am trying to get a fully automated solution for deploying machines I manage in our department.  I was going to try and write a WMI script that would get the MAC address, query the database, and name it appropriately.  We use static machine names and ip addresses.  I have virtually no experience in programming and would like some help/advice with the following:

Dim strMac
Dim NewComputerName
On Error Resume Next

strComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colItems = objWMIService.ExecQuery("Select * from Win32_NetworkAdapter",,48)
For Each objItem in colItems
If objitem.Manufacturer = "Broadcom" or objitem.Manufacturer = "Linksys" Then
     strMac = objItem.MACAddress
End If
Next

***Can I put a case statement somewhere here where I can say if strMac = "blah" then NewComputerName = "blah"?***


Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:" _
    & "{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colComputers = objWMIService.ExecQuery _
    ("Select * from Win32_ComputerSystem")
For Each objComputer in colComputers
    err = ObjComputer.Rename(NewComuterName)
    Wscript.Echo err
Next


I only have about 25 machiens or so and they are split up between three images, so there would only be a max of 10 choices for each image.  Would this be the easiest way to name the machine to a predetermined static machine name?

Thanks in advance!
