Computers have revolutionized communication in the world as we presently know it. A computer has certain basic components. I'll list them out with some commonly known information as well. Case: or tower, different sizes, shapes and colors these days are available. Motherboard: This is the unit that hold's everything together. It's like the frame of your car, everything is bolted to it. Central Processing Unit: CPU or processor or Chip, this is the little fan dangled object that does all the smart stuff so you can do whatever task's you'll need to do with your computer. Random Access Memory: known as RAM or just memory. The more and the faster it runs the better. Power Supply & adaptors: just know that your computer needs this to take power from the wall and gives it to the board which powers up everything else. Video display: VGA adapter or graphics adapter too. If you'll be playing games you'll want a large one of these. Removable Media: storage device of some sort, floppy drive, CD, DVD, Media card. This is basically anything your computer can put information on that you can walk away with. Internal Storage: known as your hard disk or hard drive or just 'drive'.
