First let's get into the basic outer parts of the computer before getting into the interior parts in detailed.

The Monitor
The Computer Monitor is the computer screen that functions into the working of the computer. The word "Monitor" is often used synonymously with "computer screen" or "display." The monitor displays the computer’s programs and much more, allowing the user to interact with the computer, typically using the keyboard and mouse.


The Keyboard
The Keyboard is one of the computers primary input devices used to communicate with the computer. A computer keyboard closely resembles a conservative typewriter keyboard with the addition of numerous keys that are used specifically for computing functions.

The Mouse
The mouse is another input device used to point at objects on the computer monitor and select/deselect them. Using the mouse and keyboard in combination allows the computer user accomplish a wide variety of tasks.


The Floppy Diskette Drive
Floppy Disk Drive is one of the most advanced storage devices, floppy disks are normally used a temporary storage holder or transportation media for data. A standard floppy diskette can hold 1.44 MB of computer data. The floppy drive reads data from, and writes data to, a small disk.

The CD-ROM Drive
As the name implies, The Compact Disk-Read Only Memory (CD-ROM) use compact disks, in fact, the same physical disk format as the ones we use for music. Special formatting is used to allow these disks to hold data. In many ways, the CD-ROM has replaced the floppy disk drive. Most disks of this kind are "Read Only" meaning that the computer can retrieve information from the disk, but cannot place information on it. Although technology has improved allowing writing and rewriting data to the disk.


Computer Peripherals
Computer peripherals are any electronic devices that can be hooked up to a computer other than the standard input-output devices such as, monitors, keyboard and mouse. Peripheral devices can also be speakers, microphones, printers, scanners, digital cameras, plotters, and modems.
