CPU , memory, hard disk, display, and mainboard.
The above is partially correct. The question is actually 40+ years old and was asked of me in an engineering class back in 1968. Back then it was 'What are the 5 parts of a computer.'
Technically, a computer does NOT need storage, aka a hard drive or a floppy etc to be a computer. It also doesn't need a display.
It needs:
* CPU (for processing commands)
* Input (from a keyboard, or a floppy, a hard drive etc to input both commands and data)
* Output ( to a monitor, a printer, magnetic tape, paper tape, punch cards etc)
* Memory ( the place an actual program and or data that the CPU uses MUST reside)
*The 5th item alluded to is the Arithmetic Processor.
The CPU processes the commands while the Arithmetic Processor manipulates the data to add, subtract, multiply and divide. In today's computers (post-1985) the CPU and the Arithmetic Processor are on the same chip. Previously, for those who remember the Z80 and the 8080 processors, for more "computing power" you could install an Arithmetic Processor to upgrade the PC and give the built-in arithmetic processor more capability.
If you're wondering what the main parts of a computer are, they're the keyboard, hard drive, monitor, printer, and mouse.
Here is a full list of the general parts of the working computer. This list will not include every accessory known to man. Motherboard Central Processing Unit (CPU) Random Access Memory (RAM) Physical Memory (Harddrive) Power Supply Compact Disk Read Only Memory (CD-ROM) and/or Digital Video Disk Read Only Memory (DVD-ROM) Network capability (56k voice modem, 10/100 Ethernet Controller) Graphics Output (Onboard or ex. ATI Radeon HD 4870 graphics card) Sound Output (Onboard or ex. Realtek HD Surround sound card) Visual Monitor (LCD, CRT projection computer monitor) Printer (Epson, Canon, Lexmark, HP printers) Mouse Keyboard Gaming controllers (Joystick, Gamepad) Webcam Microphone Plus other technologies (Floppy disk drives, USBs and their controllers, Firewire, HDMI outputs, Optical sound outputs, and other forms of data connections: Parallel and serial ports, and cooling fans.) And don't forget: The case (the actual box enclosing the components which has no actual effect what-so-ever with the inner workings of the computer)
That was the list of computer parts/components you would need should you ever consider building your own PC. You can purchase all these parts at Amazon of course.

the 3 main parts of the computer are :
The CPU ( central processing unit or brains ), input devices and output devices.
The computer is made up of the monitor, the monitor case, the keyboard, the mouse and the microphone. Other parts includes the CD disk drive and the floppy disc drive.

Internal Desktop refers to electronic computer parts that are designed to be installed inside a desktop computer. e.g Internal Desktop Hard Drives are hard drives designed to be installed inside a desktop computer.
It depends on the type of Computer. Laptop,Desktop etc.
Laptop parts are not the same from computer to computer, whereas desktop parts, with the exception of the plastic case, are fully interchangeable.Laptop parts are WAY smallerLaptop parts are extremely hard to replace because laptops are made so that you cannot open it, even to just clean the fan.
Generally speaking, yes. The parts from inside a Gateway desktop are easily removable.
My HP pavillion(Name on my computer) desktop is the regular desktop on my computer
the size of the desktop computer is (small).
the "computer term" for desktop is desktop
The difference between desktop computer and personal computer is that desktop computer is for everyone and personal computer is for your own self!
It depends entirely on the computer. No brand is inherently better than another. Computers are the sum of their parts.
No, your desktop computer is a digital computer as are virtually all modern computers.
