I think that today's computers really have more than six components, although I guess this depends upon whether you are - in taxonomical language - a lumper or a splitter. For a start, I would not ignore the various data buses which create the connectivity between processor(s) and the memory chips, RAID arrays of SCISI/SATA drives, and lots of USB plugin sockets. Also, you will not get very far on your PC without an assortment of I/O devices to manage your mouse and keyboard and either a plugin or on-M/B graphics generator so you can see what you are doing (on the monitor or TV, depending), not to mention today's invaluable ethernet device so you can LAN and WAN and route away to your heart's content. Finally, do not forget the multi-voltage DC power supply, without which none of the aboce will even warm up let alone "glow" for you. I agree that simple is nice, and classification is always a boon to clearer understanding, but I don't think that your six components quite cover the ground, so to speak. Others may disagree, as is the way of the world!
