Main Components

The computer case contains the main internal components like the motherboard and CPU. It comes in different shapes like desktop or tower cases. A desktop case lies flat while a tower case is tall. All-in-one PCs have the components built into the monitor. The monitor displays images using a video card located inside the computer case and can have built-in speakers. Newer monitors use thin LCD or LED displays while older ones used bulkier CRT displays. The keyboard and mouse allow users to communicate with the computer by typing and pointing.

computer case is the metal and plastic box that contains the

The
main componentsof the computer, including the motherboard, central
processing unit (CPU), and power supply. The front of the case usually has
an On/Off button and one or more optical drives.

Computer cases come in different shapes and sizes. A desktop case lies
flat on a desk, and the monitor usually sits on top of it. A tower case is tall
and sits next to the monitor or on the floor. All-in-one computers come with
the internal components built into the monitor, which eliminates the need for a
separate case.

The monitor works with avideo card, located inside the computer
case, to display images and text on the screen. Most monitors have control
buttons that allow you to change your monitor's display settings, and some
monitors also have built-in speakers.

Newer monitors usually have LCD (liquid crystal display) or LED (light-
emitting diode) displays. These can be made very thin, and they are often
called flat-panel displays. Older monitors use CRT (cathode ray tube)
displays. CRT monitors are much larger and heavier, and they take up more desk
space.

The keyboard is one of the main ways to communicate


with a computer. There are many different types of
keyboards, but most are very similar and allow you to
accomplish the same basic tasks.

The mouse is another important tool for communicating with computers.


Commonly known as a pointing device, it lets you point to objects on
the screen, click on them, and move them.

There are two main mouse types: optical and mechanical. The optical mouse
uses an electronic eye to detect movement and is easier to clean.
The mechanical mouseuses a rolling ball to detect movement and
requires regular cleaning to work properly.
