Technically it's neither as it's just a shell that houses the devices. However, if you just mean the computer as a whole, then it is of course both because it's made up of input and output devices.

∙ 7y agoNo, a computer tower is just an inert collection of steel, aluminum, and plastic parts that provides an enclosure and structural support for the various active electronic hardware (e.g. CPU, memory, input, output, power supply and distribution) that does the work of the computer.

It is the chassis that the computer components are mounted in, its only functions are to provide mechanical support for those components and adequate ventilation for their proper cooling.

What are the 3 basic elements of a computer?
The basic element are:MonitorPeripherals KeyboardMouseSpeakersThe Tower The MotherboardThe CPU (Central Processing Unit)RAM (Memory)Hard Drive (Main Storage Device)CD or DVD DriveOther (Card Reader, Optional Sound Card, etc)
IS RS-232 an input or a output?
RS-232 is a Recommeded Standard (RS) for serial communications. It can be both input and output, or just one or the other. There are RS-232 devices called DCE (for Data Communications Equipment) like a printer, modem, mouse, joystick, monitor. There are RS-232 devices called DTE (for Data Terminal Equipment) like a notebook computer or tower. Two computers may talk to each other over an RS-232 link. The "boss" computer would be the DTE; the "slave" computer would be the DCE. {In practice, nobody really uses RS-232 for intra-computer linking in home or office, but it might be used for fairly long connections on, say, an antenna farm if fiber optics is unaffordable.}
What type of computer tower replaced the original desktop case?
full tower
What is the purpose of a tower fan in computer science?
A tower fan is a fan that sits in a computer tower and serves as the main cooling mechanism. The computer tower is the main box of the computer that houses the motherboard, hard disks, CD drives, and other internal components of the computer. When operating, computers can generate a lot of heat, so it is important to keep the components cool for better performance and longer life.
What on a computer stands upright and houses computer components?
The system unit, or base unit or the teacher or your fat mom
Is the tower of a computer input?
The "tower" part of a computer contains most of the computer. It is the cabinet that contains input and output devices, as well as storage devices. However, collectively speaking, the label of "processing device" would be more accurate. Or you can say it is an I/O and processing device with storage.
What does the keyboards and monitor plug into?
A rather simplistic answer is: The keyboard is an input device, and is plugged into the computer tower, and thus is connected to the motherboard and processor, etc. The monitor is an output device and shows the graphical output from the motherboard for the user to see on the screen.
Is a tower a input device?
input device
Is a CPU tower an input or output?
Input
Is a computer tower a output or inpuit?
It contains the processing device.
What part of the computer allows the computer to work?
There are multipule answers to this question. 1.) A Monitor (Visual Commuication) 2.) Speakers (Verbal/Vocal Communication) 3.) Keyboard (Input Device) 4.) Mouse (Input Device)
What is the input component of a computer?
For a laptop computer,all of the physical hardware is usually combined. In a desktop, you normally have a tower containing the motherboard, hard drive, CD/DVD drives, and various ports and input connections. The peripherals are the display (monitor, CRT or LCD), the keyboard, the mouse, speakers, a printer, and any external drives.

Disk drives monitors keyboards mice and scanners are peripherals?
Technically, yes - anything that plugs into your tower is a peripheral - but, more specifically, keyboards are Input Devices, a monitor is an Output Device, a mouse is a Pointing Device, disk drives are Storage Devices, and so on; but grouped together they can all be considered Peripheral Devices.
Is a printer a peripheral devise?
Any device attached to the computer's tower by cable or wifi could be considered to be a peripheral device.
What are three input devices called?
Computer input devices are anything that allows a user to control a computer or inputs information into a computer. These devices may include your mouse, keyboard, or gaming controller. They may also include devices such as your microphone or camera.
What is another word for Computer case?
Case in computer terms means all the permissible inputs the variable can take to execute the program The case can be called the system unit or tower where all of the "guts" of your computer are contained.
