SYSTEM UNIT
The system unit, also known as a "tower" or
"chassis," contains the main components of
a desktop computer. It includes the 
motherboard, CPU, RAM, and other 
components. The case that houses these
components is also part of the system unit.
Peripheral devices, such as the monitor, 
keyboard, and mouse are separate from the
system unit. Peripherals, combined with the
system unit, create a "workstation."
Some modern computers, such as the iMac,
combine the system unit and monitor into a
single device. In this case, the monitor is part
of the system unit. While laptops also have
built-in displays, they are not considered
system units, since the term only refers to
desktop computers.
