Computer Components By Kelsey Wright
Motherboard • Amotherboard is the central printed circuit board (PCB) in many modern computers and holds many of the crucial components of the system, providing connectors for other peripherals.
Power Supply • A power supply unit (PSU) converts mains AC to low-voltage regulated DC power • The power supply supplies the electrical power for a computer. It supplies power to the motherboard, drives, and certain expansion cards.
Drive Bays • A drive bay is a standard-sized area for adding hardware to a computer. Most drive bays are fixed to the inside of a case, but some can be removed.
Central Processing Unit The central processing unit (CPU) is the portion of a computer system that carries out the instructions of a computer program, to perform the basic arithmetical, logical, and input/output opera
Ram*** • Random access memory (RAM) is a form of computer data storage. Today, it takes the form of integrated circuits that allow stored data to be accessed in any order with a worst case performance of constant time.
Hard Drive*** • A hard disk drive (HDD; also hard drive, hard disk, or disk drive)[2] is a device for storing and retrieving digital information, primarily computer data.
Fan • A computer fan is any fan inside, or attached to, a computer case used for active cooling,
Expansion Slots/Cards • The expansion card (also expansion board, adapter card or accessory card) in computing is a printed circuit board that can be inserted into an expansion slot of a computer motherboard or backplane to add functionality to a computer system via the expansion bus.
Ports/Connectors*** • to standardize the connection of computer peripherals
