Every computer includes numerous and various types of computer hardware parts such as the monitor,the motherboard, the keyboard, the mouse, the central processing unit, the hard drive, the chip set, the printer, the speakers, the modems and many others. All of these components are directly or indirectly connected between them and in this way they are all important and influence the performance of one another and of the computer system itself.


The system unit is very important to be mentioned when discussing about computer hardware parts because it is considered to be the core of the computer system. It includes many electronical types of components which are very important within the computer because they deal with processing the necessary information which needs to be operated by the computer according to certain instructions. The most important computer hardware part included within the system unit is considered to be the central processing unit which is directly connected to the motherboard. The central processing unit has been many times considered to be the brain of the computer. Another computer hardware component included within the system unit is the random access memory which deals with storing important information used by the central processing unit while the computer is powered on. This is why the information stored within the random access memory is known to be a temporally one which will be lost once the computer system will be turned off.

Another important aspect to be mentioned about the other computer hardware parts is that most of them are connected to the system unit by using cables. The computer parts which are part of the system unit are known as peripheral devices. Among the memory storage devices very important to be mentioned are the hard disk drive, the CD drive, the DVD drive and the floppy disk drive. The hard disk drive deals with storing the necessary information on a hard disk. They are usually very much appreciated by the users because they can store a massive amount of information serving in this way as the primary source of information within any type of computer. It is also very important because it offers the users the opportunity to store in there all of the program files that they need to work with.

In what concerns the CD and DVD drives it is important to be mentioned that nowadays almost all of the computers being made available for users include these two types of drives.  The floppy disk drive stores important information for the users on floppy disks which are also known as floppies or diskettes. These devices are not capable of storing the same amount of data as the CDs and the DVDs are. Another important computer hardware part is the mouse. This small device is used to point to certain items on the computer screen. There are nowadays available for the users all sorts of shapes in which this device is being presented. Also very important related to these devices is the fact that nowadays they can be found wireless as well, which has been very much appreciated by the users who need for these types of changes to occur in order for them t be able to work easier with their computers.


Another important computer hardware part is the keyboard.  This device is mainly used by the user when typing text within their computers. It includes keys or numbers and letters but not only. Some models also include function types of keys, a numeric keypad and the navigation keys. All of these are very important and useful for the users when they need to work with certain texts and not only. There are many models of keyboards available for the users nowadays who have where to choose from when they want to change their old keyboard with one that might be a better performing one which might ease their work with the computer.


The monitor is considered to be one of the most important computer hardware parts especially because it displays all the images resulting from certain instructions that are being operated by the computer system. There are two types of computer monitors available for the users nowadays:  the cathode ray tube type and the liquid crystal display type. The first type is considered the old fashioned one as it has been used by almost all the users in the past but it has nowadays been replaced by the new type, the LCD which presents a better looking design and which does not weight as much as the old ones used to. In reality, both types of computer monitors present advantages and disadvantages. What is important is for us to become well informed about the necessary features that we need to have included within the computer monitor that we might want to buy in order to be able to find the one that might actually become the best choice for us.

There are many computer hardware parts which are very important to be analyzed in order for us to understand the way in which our computer functions and the way in which we might improve it so that we might work easier and more properly with it.
