The basic computer hardware are: Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, Case, Motherboard, RAM, CPU, Harddrive. The monitor display's data on the screen (Your reading this on your monitor) The keyboard & mouse is used to navigate through out the computer (You used your mouse to open your web browser, internet Explorer. You used your keyboard to find this website and ask your question) The case holds the most important parts of your computer. (That big box on the floor with the ON button and some lights) The motherboard connects all the components together, everything from your monitor to your keyboard and even your USB drive. (You can't see your motherboard as its inside your case) The RAM is your computers memory, it helps load programs faster and stores important information to be used later (You can't see your RAM as its inside your case). You CPU does all the calculations for you computer, everything on your computer is the result of a calculation by the CPU, even your graphics on your monitor and your pushing a key on your keyboard must go through a calculation by the CPU. (You can't see your CPU as its inside your case) The hard drive stores all your data and it stores your operating system(Windows). (You can't see your hard drive as its inside your case)
