'''Computer hardware''' is the physical part of a [[computer]], including the [[digital circuit]]ry, as distinguished from the [[computer software]] that executes within the hardware. The hardware of a computer is infrequently changed, in comparison with software and data, which are "soft" in the sense that they are readily created, modified or erased on the computer. [[Firmware]] is a special type of software that rarely, if ever, needs to be changed and so is stored on hardware devices such as [[read-only memory]] (ROM) where it is not readily changed (and is, therefore, "firm" rather than just "soft").
Most computer hardware is not seen by normal users. It is in [[embedded systems]] in automobiles, microwave ovens, [[electrocardiograph]] machines, [[compact disc]] players, and other devices. [[Personal computer]]s, the computer hardware familiar to most people, form only a small minority of computers (about 0.2% of all new computers produced in 2003). See [[Microprocessor#Market statistics|Market statistics]].
==Typical PC hardware==
A typical [[Personal computer]] has a lot of [[Computer case|case]] or chassis in a tower shape (desktop) and the following parts:

[[Image:De5c 12.jpg|220px|thumb|right|Inside a Custom Computer]]
===Motherboard===
{{main|Motherboard}}
The motherboard is the "heart" of the computer, through which all other components interface.
* [[Central processing unit]] ('''CPU''') - Performs most of the calculations which enable a computer to function, sometimes referred to as the "brain" of the computer.
** [[Computer fan]] - Used to lower the temperature of the computer; a fan is almost always attached to the CPU, and the computer case will generally have several fans to maintain a constant airflow. Liquid cooling can also be used to cool a computer, though it focuses more on individual parts rather than the overall temperature inside the chassis.
* [[Random Access Memory]] (RAM) - Fast-access memory that is cleared when the computer is powered-down. RAM attaches directly to the motherboard, and is used to store programs that are currently running.
* [[Firmware]] is loaded from the Read only memory [[ROM]] run from the [[Basic Input-Output System]] (BIOS) or in newer systems [[Extensible Firmware Interface]] (EFI) compliant
* Internal [[Computer bus|Buses]] - Connections to various internal components.
** [[Peripheral Component Interconnect|PCI]]
** [[PCI Express|PCI-E]]
** [[Universal Serial Bus|USB]]
** [[HyperTransport]]
** [[Common System Interface|CSI]] (expected in [[2008]])
** [[Accelerated Graphics Port|AGP]] (being phased out)
** [[VESA Local Bus|VLB]] (outdated)
** [[Industry Standard Architecture|ISA]] (outdated)
** [[Extended Industry Standard Architecture|EISA]] (outdated)
** [[Micro Channel Architecture|MCA]] (outdated)
* External Bus Controllers - used to connect to external peripherals, such as printers and input devices. These ports may also be based upon expansion cards, attached to the internal buses.
**[[parallel port]]
**[[serial port]]
**[[USB]]
**[[firewire]]
**[[SCSI]] (On Servers and older machines)
**[[PS/2]] (For mice and keyboards, being phased out and replaced by USB.)
===Power supply===
{{main|Computer power supply}}
A case that holds a transformer, voltage control, and (usually) a cooling fan, and supplies power to run the rest of the computer.
Controllers for [[hard disk]], [[CD-ROM]] and other drives like internal [[Zip]] and [[Jaz]] conventionally for a PC are [[Integrated Drive Electronics|IDE]]/ATA; the controllers sit directly on the motherboard (on-board) or on expansion cards, such as a [[Disk array controller]]. [[IDE]] is usually integrated, unlike [[SCSI]] which is found in most [[servers]]. The floppy drive interface is a legacy [[MFM]] interface which is now slowly disappearing. All these interfaces are gradually being phased out to be replaced by [[SATA]] and [[Serial Attached SCSI|SAS]].
{{main|Graphics card}}
Produces the output for the [[computer display]]. This will either be built into the motherboard or attached in its own separate slot (PCI, PCI-E or AGP), in the form of a [[Graphics Card]].
===Removable media devices===
{{main|Computer storage}}
* [[CD]] - the most common type of removable media, inexpensive but has a short life-span.
** [[CD-ROM|CD-ROM Drive]] - a device used for reading data from a CD.
** [[CD recorder|CD Writer]] - a device used for both reading and writing data to and from a CD.
* [[DVD]] - a popular type of removable media that is the same dimensions as a CD but stores up to 6 times as much information. It is the most common way of transferring digital video.
** [[DVD-ROM|DVD-ROM Drive]] - a device used for reading data from a DVD.
** [[DVD|DVD Writer]] - a device used for both reading and writing data to and from a DVD.
** [[DVD-RAM|DVD-RAM Drive]] - a device used for rapid writing and reading of data from a special type of DVD.
* [[Blu-ray Disc|Blu-ray]] - a high-density optical disc format for the storage of digital information, including high-definition video. Currently a rival of HD DVD.
** [[BD-ROM|BD-ROM Drive]] - a device used for reading data from a Blu-ray disc.
** [[BD-RE|BD Writer]] - a device used for both reading and writing data to and from a Blu-ray disc.
* [[HD DVD]] - a high-density optical disc format and successor to the standard DVD. Currently a rival of Blu-ray
* [[Floppy disk]] - an outdated storage device consisting of a thin disk of a flexible magnetic storage medium.
* [[Zip drive]] - an outdated medium-capacity removable disk storage system, first introduced by Iomega in 1994.
* [[USB flash drive]] - a flash memory data storage device integrated with a USB interface, typically small, lightweight, removable and rewritable.
* [[Tape drive]] - a device that reads and writes data on a magnetic tape, usually used for long term storage.
Hardware that keeps data inside the computer for later use and remains persistent even when the computer has no power.
* [
* [[Solid-state drive]] - a device emulating a hard disk, but containing no moving parts.
* [[Disk array controller]] - a device to manage several hard disks, to achieve performance or reliability improvement.
===Sound card===
{{main|Sound card}}
Enables the computer to output sound to audio devices, as well as accept input from a [[microphone]]. Most modern computers have sound cards built-in to the motherboard, though it is common for a user to install a separate sound card as an upgrade.
===Networking===
{{main|Computer networks}}
Connects the computer to the [[Internet]] and/or other computers.
* [[Modem]] - for dial-up connections
* [[Network card]] - for DSL/Cable internet, and/or connecting to other computers.
* [[Direct Cable Connection]] - Use of a [[null modem]], connecting two computers together using their serial ports or a [[laplink|Laplink Cable]], connecting two computers together with their parallel ports.
===Other peripherals===
{{main|Peripheral}}
In addition, hardware devices can include external components of a computer system. The following are either standard or very common.
[[Image:3-Tastenmaus Microsoft.jpg|thumb|Wheel mouse]]
