LCD/Flat panel monitors- LCD is Short for liquid crystal display. LCD technology can be found in computer monitors. LCD displayer is the monitor; the main purpose of a monitor in a computer system is to show text and graphics, which are generated by the computer. The LCD monitor is connected by a cable. One side of the cable is plugged into the back of the monitor and the other side of the cable is plugged into the hard drive cable port. Computer case- A computer case is also known as a computer chassis, system unit, base unit or simply just a case. Sometimes they are referred to as a CPU or hard drive. The cases are mainly made by steel solid cover. Inside the Computer case there is the hard drive and inside the hard drive there are other components such as the motherboard, USB ports, power supply, Central Processing Unit (CPU) and Random Access Memory (RAM) Hard Drive- A hard drive is the scale of a paper-back book however heavier .The sides of the hard drive have been pre drilled, threaded holes for easy mounting in the 3.5 inch drive bay in the computer case. The back of the hard drive contains a port for a cable that connects to the motherboard. The Hard Drive has many components inside it such as the motherboard, USB ports, power supply, Central Processing Unit (CPU) and Random Access Memory (RAM) Power supply unit (computer)- If there is any component that is completely important to a computer, it is the power supply, without it, a computer is just a box full of metal and plastic junk. The power supply converts the alternating current (AC) line from your home to the direct current (DC) which is needed by the personal computer and then pass the current to each component for it to perform its task.

Make sure all the cables are plugged in and that the Liquid Crystal display (LCD) Monitor, the keyboard and the mouse is plugged in as well. 2. When the computer is starting up, the monitor will have a blank and the computer will be loading and setting up. After it is set upped, it will show that everything in the computer is functioning well. 3. After that is done I will log on to my user, by using my keyboard and pressing ALT, Ctrl and Delete. After that I will type in my username and password. 4. When the computer is ready for usage I will use my mouse to go on the Start icon and left click on it. 5. When on the start menu there will be a list of various applications, but the only application I will need to use is Microsoft Word 2010. I will drag my mouse on to that icon and left click on it once and wait for it to load up. 6.
Slide the power supply to the rear of the computer case; line up the holes in the unit carefully with the holes in the outside of the case.
These devices are attached to the motherboard through different connections. The output devices like monitors and printers can be used by a file server to show different files or print hard copies of files. These devices take the data from the computer and put it into a format that users can read and understand. I would like to take a moment here and go over the different kinds of monitors that a person can use as an output device. The first is the regular CRT monitors are heavy and use a lot of electric power to display objects, but are preferred by graphical artist for the color rendition. Then there are the flat panel monitors, which can use liquid Crystal Display (LCD) or a plasma display. These displays use electronically at each pixel to control the color. The input devices like a keyboards and a mouse. These inputs take the movements from the users and turn it into data that the computer can understand. (Beach,
Monitor – A monitor’s role when creating a graphic design is to provide the user with an image of the graphic that they are creating. When getting a monitor the user should try to make sure that it is the highest resolution and the best quality that they can buy, this will make the graphics look better and may make it easier to create with different finer details.
LED Backlit Display: LED backlit displays, or LED LCDs, use light emitting diodes as the light source screens, instead of old fluorescent lights used in rather typical LCD screens. This kind of display results in a much brighter and provides vibrant images, as well as reduced power consumption due to its efficient function. This laptop includes the rare LED Backlit Display.
Well, Before anything else, here is a few names of components that need to be known to not be completely lost. The CPU(Central Processing Unit) (It processes everything from basic instructions to complex functions.) (Techterms.com). The Hard drive (the location of all the computer’s folders, files, and information, saved magnetically so even if turned off it’ll all stay saved). The RAM (Random Access Memory) (The more RAM your computer has, the more data can be loaded from the hard drive into the RAM, which can effectively speed up your computer.)(Techterms.com), The OS (Operating System) (just what it sounds like, this is the system that works the computer, as in Windows, Linux, and Apple OS.) The Graphics card (helps the CPU by processing the graphics portion of what the CPU has to process). The Disk Drive( this is the CD,DVD, or Blu-Ray driver that is installed to use CD’s DVD’s and or Blu-Ray disks.) The last major term to know is the Motherboard ...
So you’re thinking about building a gaming computer from scratch? Well I can explain a few things that will help you on your journey. Gaming desktops/rigs take a lot of energy, so don’t go crazy when you see next month’s electricity bill. Assuming you have a good amount of money, then I will be telling you how much the items are, and what sizes you should get. I will list these items off in order from what you should be looking up first. First you will need to buy a case, this is one of the cheapest items on your list. Most cases are the same, they just vary from size, airflow, noise, number of drive bays, front ports, cable management, and look. Depending on which one you get it could cost you in the range of $75-$125. Once you have the case, we can proceed to the important goodies. Second you will be in need a Processor (CPU), this is the brain of your rig. Since this will be a gaming computer, you will need a very expensive CPU. Third item will be a motherboard, this will connect all the other components of your computer together. It’s the base for everything such as: USB ports, the number of expansion cards you can put in (such as video, sound, and Wi-Fi).You can find one a good gaming pc fit one for about $200. Fourth will be your Random Access Memory, or RAM for short. This is like your computer's short-term memory. It stores data your computer needs quick access to help your programs run faster, and help you run more programs at one time. Remember this is a gaming laptop, so its high performance, which means you will need a lot of RAM. I repeat a lot of RAM! Most high capacity RAM cards have 4 gigabytes worth of space, and are sold in sets of two for about $80. Fifth will be your Graphics Card (GPU), which is especially ma...

A CPU has various discrete units to help it in these tasks for example there is an arithmetic and logic unit(ALU) that takes care of all the math and logical data comparisons that need to performed. A control register makes sure everything happens in the right sequence. The motherboard is the main circuit board inside the PC. All other components are either slotted into or soldered to this board.
Buy a monitor that transmits recognizable sound or image if it is a video model.
A computer is a device which is used for several applications; business, gaming, or school. It’s important for people to know how computers work because in this day and age, operating a computer is an everyday task. This complex electrical device utilizes several parts inside of it to keep itself cool, conduct the proper tasks, and maintain stability. These devices can be found several places whether it be on the job, in one’s room, or on a school campus. Computers are essential for everyday use in order to complete what is required. What each component is and its function will be described.
The motherboard is the main circuit board of your computer and is also known as the mainboard or logic board. If you ever open your computer, the biggest piece of silicon you see is the motherboard. Attached to the motherboard, you'll find the CPU, ROM, memory RAM expansion slots, PCI slots, and USB ports. It also includes controllers for devices like the hard drive, DVD drive, keyboard, and mouse. Basically, the motherboard is what makes everything in your computer work together.
“Also known as the logic board, main board, or computer board, the motherboard is the computer's main board and in most cases holds all CPU, memory, and I/O functions or has expansion slots for them”. (Kingston)
What I knew about my computer was how to turn on and off by pressing the big button at the bottom of my computer. I turned on the computer and had no idea what to do next, but I was still happy. I just clicked on everything and did not know how t o go back to the previous screen. Whenever I had problems with my computer, I just turned off the computer. It was pretty simple to clear my computer problems by pressing the power switch. The power switch was a problem solver.
A motherboard is a much larger topic to discuss. The motherboard sometimes referred to as the mainboard, system board, planar board or logic board is the main printed circuit board in computers. It is a large board generally made of silicon that holds basically all of the crucial electronic components of the system. Components such as the CPU, memory, optical drives, video card, sound card and connections for other peripherals are fixed on the motherboard. Motherboards vary greatly as far as what components they are compatible with. Each mother board only supports one type of (CPU).
