RAM (random acsess memory)
Random-access memory (RAM) is a form of computer data storage. A random-access device allows stored data to be accessed directly in any random order.
Hard drive
A hard disk drive (HDD) is a data storage used for storing and retrieving digital information using rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material.
Power Supply
A power supply is a device that supplies electric power to an electrical load.
System Fan
fans are used to move heated air away from the components and draw cooler air over them.
Floppy Disk
A floppy disk, or diskette, is a disk storage medium composed of a disk of thin and flexible magnetic storage medium, sealed in a rectangular plastic carrier lined with fabric that removes dust particles.
Heat Sink
In electronic systems, a heat sink is a passive heat exchange that cools a device by dissipating heat into the surrounding medium.
Processors (CPU)
A central processing unit (CPU), also referred to as a central processor unit, is the hardware within a computer that carries out the instructions of a computer program by performing the basic arithmetical, logical, and input/output operations of the system.
Optical drive
In computing, an optical disc drive (ODD) is a disk drive that uses laser light or electromagnetic waves within or near the visible light spectrum as part of the process of reading or writing data to or from optical discs.
