It's just a piece of equipment, generic. Per WP:MOSCAPS ("Wikipedia avoids unnecessary capitalization") and WP:TITLE, this is a generic, common term, not a propriety or commercial term, so the article title should be downcased. In addition, WP:MOSCAPS says that a compound item should not be upper-cased just because it is abbreviated with caps. Lowercase will match the formatting of related article titles.

I think it is all right capitalised as that is the common name for a physical piece of equipment and it would just look wrong to readers in lower case. MilborneOne (talk) 11:33, 9 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
