CABINET
A computer cabinet also known as a computer case. Cabinet can come in many different sizes. Cabinet contains the maximum components of a computer . It protect the components from dust and other harm. It is used to keep all components attached together

Motherboard
A motherboard is the central printed circuit board (PCB )

motherboard is alternatively known as the main board, system board It holds many of the crucial components of the system It provides connectors for other peripherals

Sockets and slots

motherboard have many connectors or slots on it.
CPU Socket RAM Slot Hard disk Connector PCI Slots

CPU Socket
A CPU socket is a electrical component that attaches to a Motherboard

designed to house a Microprocessor

It is a special type of I/C socket designed for very high pin counts. providing a physical structure to support the CPU

It forms an electrical interface both with the CPU and the Motherboard.

RAM SLOT
provides a base for RAM chip There may be two or more than two Ram Slots on a motherboard It forms an interface between RAM and motherboard.

HARD DISK CONNECTOR

IDE hard disk connector It contains pins There are 40 pins in IDE connector

SATA Hard disk Connector

USB like ports are used to connect hard disk slots used to connect SATA Hard disk to the motherboard.

PCI SLOTS
PCI formed from Peripheral Component Interconnect. PCI is a computer bus . it is used to attaching hardware devices in computer PCI specification card that fits into a slot.

MOTHERBOARD PORTS

MICROPROCESSOR
A silicon chip that contains a CPU. microprocessor incorporates most of the functions of a computer Performs Arithmetic and Logical Operations

Controls the components of computer

HEAT SINK
heat sinks are the heat

exchangers
transfers heat generated within a solid material to a fluid medium help to cool the microprocessor fan is used on the top of heat sink

RAM
Random-access memory (RAM) RAM is a form of computer data storage allow stored data to be accessed in any order volatile types of memory

HARD DISK
A hard disk drive is a nonvolatile memory device one or more rotating rigid platters on a motordriven spindle within a metal case. Data is encoded magnetically.

IDE HARD DISK

SATA HARD DISK

CD/DVD DRIVE
an optical disc drive (ODD) is a disk drive Some drives can only read from discs recent drives are commonly both readers and recorders

FLOPPY DRIVES
Invented by the American information technology company IBM A floppy disk is a data storage medium Floppy disks are read and written by a floppy disk drive or FDD ,Size of floppy disks- 8 inch, 5 inch and 3 inch

POWER SUPPLY
Power supply unit (PSU) supplies power to the other components in a computer It is used to convert alternating current (AC) to low voltage current DC.

USB
USB stands for Universal Serial Bus. A USB flash drive consists of a flash memory data storage device USB are often used for same purpose as Floppy Disks were.
