Inside a computer
These are the main parts/components of a computer cabinet/tower:
Processor
Motherboard
Hard drive
Power supply
Processor
Also referred to as the CPU (Central Processing Unit), this is the most important
part of the cabinet. This is where the processing of everything that you do on
your computer is carried out. However, you won’t be able to see it in plain sight
when you open the cabinet, because there is usually a fan and a heat-sink
mounted on the processor to ensure sure that it doesn’t overheat. Intel and AMD
are two leading processor manufacturers; they roll out new variants of existing
processors every few months. Pentium, Core i5 and Athlon are simply popular
models of processors.
Motherboard
This is a board that occupies most of the visible space inside the cabinet. Also
referred to as the mainboard, mobo, mb, system board and so on, it is the
foundation of any computer.
