Parts of computer:

            A keyboard, mouse and joystick are input devices. The Central Processing Unit (CPU) is the main chip in a computer. The CPU processes instructions, performs calculations and manages the flow of information through a computer system. The CPU communicates with input, output, and storage devices to perform tasks.

Input devices:

An input device is a hardware or peripheral device used to send data to a computer.

Key board;

                         The keyboard is the piece of computer hardware used to input text, characters, and other commands into a computer or similar device.

Mouse;

       A small handheld device which is moved across a mat or flat surface to move the cursor on a computer screen.

Joysticks;

   A lever that can be moved in several directions to control the movement of an image on a computer or similar display screen.

Microphones ;

        an instrument for converting sound waves into electrical energy variations which may then be amplified, transmitted, or recorded.

Output devices;

    An output device is any device used to send data from a computer to another device or user. Most computer data output that is meant for humans is in the form of audio or video. Thus, most output devices used by humans are in these categories. Examples include monitors, projectors, speakers, headphones and printers.

Monitor;

a television receiver used in a studio to select or verify the picture being broadcast from a particular camera.

Projectors;

a device that is used to project rays of light, especially an apparatus with a system of lenses for projecting slides or film on to a screen.

Speakers:

A device that converts analog audio signals into the equivalent air vibrations in order to make audible sound. When CRT monitors were the norm, speakers designed for computers were shielded to avoid magnetic interference with the CRT's magnetic coil. Getting Smaller All the Time.

Printers ;

               a machine for printing text or pictures, especially one linked to a computer.

Mother board;

           a printed circuit board containing the principal components of a computer or other device, with connectors for other circuit boards to be slotted into.

BIOS Chip and Battery.

Processor Socket;

The processor socket (also called a CPU socket) is the connector on the motherboard that houses a CPU and forms the electrical interface and contact with the CPU. Processor sockets use a pin grid array (PGA) where pins on the underside of the processor connect to holes in the processor socket.

Power connector socket ;

Motherboard Power Connectors: AT/LPX And ATX. ... Plugging a power supply with an incompatible pinout into a motherboard that uses a standard pinout (or vice versa) usually results in the destruction of either the board or the power supply—or both.

Memory slots;

A memory slot, memory socket, or RAM slot is what allows RAM (computer memory) to be inserted into the computer. Depending on the motherboard, there may be two to four memory slots (sometimes more on high-end motherboards) and are what determine the type of RAM used with the computer.

Video Card Slot;

 A video card slot connects to the motherboard of a computer system and generates output images to display. Video cards are also referred to as graphics cards. Video cards include a processing unit, memory, a cooling mechanism and connections to a display device.

Expansion Slots;

           a place in a computer where an expansion card can be inserted.

IDE and SATA Ports;

IDE and SATA are different types of interfaces to connect storage devices (like hard drives) to a computer's system bus. SATA stands for Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (or Serial ATA) and IDE is also called Parallel ATA or PATA. SATA is the newer standard and SATA drives are faster than PATA (IDE) drives.

BIOS Chip and Battery;

       The BIOS is special software that interfaces the major hardware components of your computer with the operating system. It is usually stored on a Flash memory chip on the motherboard, but sometimes the chip is another type of ROM. When you turn on your computer, the BIOS does several things.

CPU;

CPU (pronounced as separate letters) is the abbreviation for central processing unit. Sometimes referred to simply as the central processor, but more commonly called processor, the CPU is the brains of the computer where most calculations take place.

Random Access Memory (RAM);

Random-access memory is a form of computer data storage that stores data and machine code currently being used. A random-access memory device allows data items to be read or written in almost the same amount of time irrespective of the physical location of data inside the memory.

Power Supply.

A power supply is a hardware component that supplies power to an electrical device. It receives power from an electrical outlet and converts the current from AC (alternating current) to DC (direct current), which is what the computer requires.

Video Card.

A video card (also called a display card, graphics card, display adapter or graphics adapter) is an expansion card which generates a feed of output images to a display device (such as a computer monitor).

Hard Drive (HDD);

A hard disk drive, hard disk, hard drive, or fixed disk, is an electromechanical data storage device that uses magnetic storage to store and retrieve digital information using one or more rigid rapidly rotating disks coated with magnetic material.

Solid-State Drive (SSD);

        A solid-state drive is a solid-state storage device that uses integrated circuit assemblies as memory to store data persistently. It is also sometimes called solid-state disk, although SSDs do not have physical disks.

Optical Drive (e.g. BD/DVD/CD drive;

In computing, an optical disc drive (ODD) is a disc drive that uses laser light or electromagnetic waves within or near the visible light spectrum as part of the process of reading or writing data to or from optical discs.
