 Keyboard and Mouse
Incomputing, acomputer keyboardis atypewriter-style
devicewhich uses an arrangement of buttons orkeysto
act as amechanical leverorelectronic switch.
Acomputer mouseis apointing device(hand control)
that detectstwo-dimensionalmotion relative to a
surface. This motion is typically translated into the
motion of apointeron adisplay, which allows a smooth
control of thegraphical user interface.

 System Unit

is the enclosure for all the other

main interior components of a
computer. It is also called the
computer case, computer chassis,
or computer tower

Motherboard - Amotherboard(sometimes
alternatively known as themainboard,system
board,baseboard,planar boardorlogic board,
[1]
or colloquially, amobo) is the mainprinted
circuit board(PCB) found in general
purposemicrocomputersand other expandable
systems. It holds and allows communication
between many of the crucial electronic components
of a system, such as thecentral processing
unit(CPU) andmemory, and provides connectors

RAM Random Access Memory
is a form ofcomputer data storagewhich stores
frequently used program instructions to increase the
general speed of a system. Arandom-accessmemory
device allowsdataitems to bereador written in almost
the same amount of time irrespective of the physical
location of data inside the memory

PSU Power Supply Unit
Apower supply unit(orPSU) convertsmains ACto low-voltage
regulatedDC powerfor the internal components of a computer.
Modern personal computers universally useswitched-mode power
supplies. Somepower supplieshave a manual switch for selecting
input voltage, while others automatically adapt to the mains
voltage.
