SIMPLE COMPLEX
 - Also known as computer chassis.

- Outer shell of a computer.

- Contains most of the components of a personal computer.

CASE
 - Plugs into outlet.

- Regulates power.

POWER
SUPPLY
 - Circuit board.

- Communicates between components.

- Backbone of a computer.

MOTHER
BOARD
 - called a central processor, main processor or
just processor.

- containing the basic arithmetic, logic, and

control elements of a computer that are required
for processing data.

- contrasts with external components such

as main memory and I/O circuitry

CENTRAL - specialized processors such as graphics

processing units (GPUs).
PROCESSING
UNIT
 - allows data items to be read or written in
almost the same amount of time irrespective
of the physical location of data inside the
memory

- holds data waiting to be processed and

instructions waiting to be executed

RAM
 - an electro-mechanical data storage
device that stores and retrieves digital data.

- retaining stored data even when powered off.

HARD DRIVE
 - manipulating computer graphics and image
processing.

- designed to quickly render high-resolution

images and video concurrently.

STORAGE DEVICES
 - a removable flash memory
device that you insert and
remove from a slot in a
computer, mobile device, or card
reader/writer.

Memory Card
 - consists of a flat, round, portable
disc made of metal written and
read by a laser

Optical Disk
 - plug into a USB port on a
computer or mobile device

- have significantly more

capacity, and are more
durable due to a lack of
moving parts.
Flashdrive
 Cloud Storage

- an Internet service that
