What you pass to os.system is the litteral string 'net send ComputerName 
  "Message"'. This string is passed 'as is' - the fact that it contains 
'ComputerName' won't invoke any magic...

Try this instead:
Computerlist = ['PC1', 'PC2', 'PC3', 'PC4', 'PC5']
for ComputerName in Computerlist:
     os.system('net send %s "Message"' % ComputerName)

In Python, CapitalizedNames are usually used for class names. You'd 
better use all_lowers_with_underscores, or at least mixedCase.
