Computer monitor works as an output device that device help to provide output in the form of

graphically and text as well. Some people are also known as other name VDT (video display terminal) and
VDU (video display unit).These types of computer monitors contain the electronic circuits, power supply, and
some buttons which manipulation all signals and help to yield result in pictorial shape. Traditional computer
monitors were constructed by CRT (cathode ray tubes), which were more heavy and large in shape. But,
today use other latest technologies such as LCD, LED, and Plasma etc. Some connectors are used for
connecting computer with monitors such as VGA, Digital Visual Interface (DVI), HDMI, Display
Port, Thunderbolt, and more. Main motive to uses of computer monitor is for displaying output in pictorial
form that is more readable and understandable to users. We have to use various matrices for measure the
performance of computer monitors like as Luminance, Gamut, Aspect ratio, Display resolution, Dot pitch,
Refresh rate, Response time, and more.

A system unit is the part of a computer that houses the primary devices that
perform operations and produce results for complex calculations. It includes the
motherboard, CPU, RAM and other components, as well as the case in which these devices
are housed. This unit performs the majority of the functions that a computer is required to
do. The term system unit is generally used to differentiate between the computers itself and
its peripheral devices, such as the keyboard, mouse and monitor. A system unit is also
known as a chassis or a tower in layman's terms. The system unit holds the system devices
that perform calculations as requested from the input device, which can range from a
microprocessor to a capacitor or system clock.
Every system device has its own function. The system unit includes the electronic
equipment that interacts simultaneously in order to perform calculations and transfer the
results to the corresponding input and output devices.

Computer power supply is the electric source of all components of a computer. Though it is
one of the neglected one compare to the other parts, power supply is a must for a system. Often this
part of a computer gets failure and most of the time it is not serviceable. It will be more easier and
cheaper to replace than try to service it. You should give due attention like you do for other
components when you choose or replace the power supply unit. The function of power unit is to
convert the electrical power (AC) comes from wall socket to a suitable type and voltage (DC) so that
each component of a computer works properly.

Luck of proper supply of power will damage a computer system. The power supply receives
120 or 230V and converts into 3.3V, 5.5V and 12V. Why different converted power? That is
because all components of a computer system don’t need the same power. Usually, power units
comes with a case, however, it is a requirement to know the factors behind this unit before picking
a new one. Power supplies available on the market have different size and shape that will fit into a
particular type of computer case. This is called Form factor, layout and dimensions of a unit.

When you are going to replace a malfunction power unit, you should choose the exact form
factor that will go with the existing case of your computer.

When you open your computer for the first time, you will soon get a flat board screwed on the inside
part of the case. That is what we call computer motherboard - the most important of all other parts. You see
that every part in the case is connected to this board directly or indirectly. As you observe thoroughly, you
will soon realize that no part is left out without connecting to the board. To define, computer motherboard is
the main electronic circuitry of a computer. It holds all parts together. It is the chief of all parts, without it
there is no called ‘computer’.

Often it is referred as “System Board”, “Main board”, “planer”

The main function of a system board is providing a way so that all the parts work together. It allows various
components of a computer to communicate each other. There are varieties of main board available on the
market, which differ in size, layout and the type of components fit into (normally the process socket type). We
may differentiate boards as standard and non-standard (not popular way). Standardized boards are
interchangeable and easy for upgrading than non-standardized ones.

A hard disk is also known as a hard drive or fixed disk. It is said to be rigid magnetic disc that stores
data. It is located within a drive unit. Hard disk is a non-volatile storage device that contains platters and
magnetic disks rotating at high speeds. Non-volatile means the data retains when the computer shuts down. It
is installed internally in our computer systems. Hard disk is located within a drive unit on the computer's
motherboard and comprises one or more platters packed in an air-sealed casing.

Its main components include a read/write actuator arm, head actuator, read/write head, spindle, and platter.
A circuit board (also called as the interface board or disk controller) is present on the back of a hard drive. It
lets the hard drive to communicate with the computer. The hard disk is a secondary storage device, which is
designed to store data permanently. The secondary storage devices include a large storage capacity as
compared to the primary storage devices. The data stored in a hard disk is retained when our computer
system shuts down. The data stored in the hard disk can be of many types such as the operating system,
installed software, documents, and other files of computer. Hard disk was introduced in the year 1956 by
IBM. The first personal computer contains a hard drive of less than 1 megabyte, while modern computers
contain a hard drive of 1 terabyte.

The hard disks are robust and can be used for a long time. But hard disks can be crashed, and the main
reason is head crash. If the hard drive is crashed, we may lose all our documents, photos, etc., stored in it.

Computer keyboard is a device used to enter data and commands to a computer. Here are some facts
you should know about this part of a computer. It is one of the most important parts of a computer which is
used to enter commands, text, numerical data and other types of data by pressing the keys on the keyboard.

A user talks with a computer through input devices such as keyboard and mouse. Input devices are used to
enter data to a computer. The entered data then converted into machine language so that a CPU understands
the data or instruction comes through the input devices. Computer keyboard comes in several type and
variations, however, the basic elements are the same in all keyboards.

Since there is no connection with main pc, wireless keyboard gets power from battery or AC power
connection. This is the side effect of wireless keyboards, you often change battery.

In summary, computer keyboard is an input device that can’t be escaped. When you buy keyboards go for
the known and best brand types, otherwise it will soon fail to operate.

Computer mouse helps to navigate through graphical interface applications. Having a good and
ergonomic mouse is essential for a daily task done by a computer.

What is computer mouse?

It is a device used for computer input. It points and click on icons, menus, command buttons or activates
something on a computer. The GUI (Graphical user interface) of current applications and programs are user
friendly and easier to navigate using computer mouse. The purpose of mouse is to convert your hand
movement into a usable computer format. When the mouse is moved, this movement rolls a ball found inside.
You should put the mouse on flat table or mouse pad in order to move. The two axles (represent the X and Y
direction) will turn as a result of the rolling ball. Each axle connects to wheel (resembles like a gear) which
spins when the axle rotates.

Beside each rotating wheel, there are an infrared LED (light-emitting diode) and infrared Sensor. The LED
sends a path of light to the wheel. The sensor, found on the other side of the wheel, detects the pulses of light
interrupted by rotating wheel.

The mouse on-board processor chip reads the pulses from the sensor and translates into computer usable
format (binary data). This tells the mouse position and speed which is displayed in the movement of a cursor
on a screen. This kind of mouse is called Opto- mechanical mouse.
