Different Parts of the Computer and Their Function

Housing

A tower houses just the components that make the computer function.
The housing is the part of your computer that holds all the parts that make the computer operate. In a desktop tower, the housing does not include a monitor, keyboard or mouse. An all-inclusive computer houses both a monitor and the components that make the computer function, but does not include a mouse or keyboard. A laptop includes the monitor, keyboard, mouse (or mouse alternative) and the components that make the computer function.

Motherboard

The motherboard is also called the logic, system or base board.
The motherboard is the part of your computer that wires all of the other parts together. It is a printed circuit board and includes the CPU and memory. Every component of your computer connects directly into the motherboard. It typically includes expansion options for high-end graphic displays and additional devices. Motherboard specifications are designed around which CPU your computer uses. For example, if your computer uses an Intel processor, you need an Intel-compatible motherboard.


Processor (CPU)

THE CPU is the core of your computer.
The processor, or CPU, of a computer is basically the brains of the computer. The processor is responsible for interpreting every code it receives from the other computer components, and making it usable to your operating system. Though it's simply a single chip, the processor's speed determines the overall speed of your computer. The CPU contains a control unit and the Arithmetic Logic Unit, or ALU.
