Snippet from Wikipedia: Computer hardware

Computer hardware includes the physical parts of a computer, such as the central processing unit (CPU), random access memory (RAM), motherboard, computer data storage, graphics card, sound card, and computer case. It includes external devices such as a monitor, mouse, keyboard, and speakers.

By contrast, software is the set of instructions that can be stored and run by hardware. Hardware is so-termed because it is hard or rigid with respect to changes, whereas software is soft because it is easy to change.

Hardware is typically directed by the software to execute any command or instruction. A combination of hardware and software forms a usable computing system, although other systems exist with only hardware.

Computer hardware components:


Computer Case and "Insides"

CPU - Microprocessors

Motherboards

Computer Memory

Fixed Data Storage - Internal Storage

Power Supply

Networking Interfaces

Expansion Bus

Computer Ports

Obsolete Ports

These are no longer included in most new computer hardware, however there are cases where these may still be found in new motherboards depending on the port, e.g. PS/2 port
