Chişinău – 2020
The basic parts of a desktop computer are the computer case, monitor, keyboard, mouse,
and power cord. Each part plays an important role whenever you use a computer. The computer
case is the metal and plastic box that contains the main components of 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 a video 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 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 mouse uses a rolling
ball to detect movement and requires regular cleaning to work properly.
