What are Computer Components?
The most important parts of the computer are the computer components or hardware that represent the physical parts of a computer composing a computer system, such as the monitor, mouse, keyboard, computer data storage, hard disk drive (HDD), and system unit. 

What are the Different Computer Parts and Their Functions?
A typical desktop computer consists of a computer system unit, a keyboard, a monitor, and a mouse. The computer system unit is the enclosure for all the other main interior components of a computer, like sound cards, memory drives, and motherboard. It can also be called a computer case or computer tower. Cases are usually made of steel or aluminum and sometimes plastic. While most of them are black metal boxes, some manufacturers try to give the unit some flair by adding color and design elements. The personal computer is one of the most common types of computer due to its versatility and low pricing. Laptops are generally similar, although many use lower-power or reduced size components for laptops.

When purchasing computer components, you must be aware of what functions they have and where they belong in a computer system. The central processing unit (CPU) is the brains of the computer where most calculations take place. In terms of computing power, the CPU is the most critical element of a computer system.

Before LCD monitors existed, most used cathode ray tubes for computer monitors. These monitors come with a variety of methods like desktop monitor, VESA mount, panel mount, and open frame monitor for mounting them depending on the application and environment. The motherboard is the main component of a computer. It is a large rectangular board with integrated circuitry that connects the other parts of the computer, including the CPU, the RAM, the disk drives (CD, DVD, hard disk, or any others) as well as any peripherals connected via the ports or the expansion slots.

Power supply units (PSU) convert alternating current electric power to low-voltage DC power for the internal components of the computer. Laptops are capable of running from a built-in battery for hours.

As processors, graphics cards, RAM, and other components in computers have increased in speed and power consumption, the amount of heat produced by these components has also increased. These components need to be kept within a specified temperature range to prevent overheating, instability, malfunction, and damage. That's why a computer fan is a necessary part of the system, and a computer case used for active cooling of the system can be helpful as well.
