The brand desktop changes the life of today’s human. Not only the personal use of the brand desktop is common but also the official purposes, i.e. LAN, WAN is common. The first type, Desktop computers are built for the personal uses only. These can be used at single location. The hardware of the computers consists of different peripheral parts e.g. keyboard, mouse, monitor, computer cases & power cords.

Computer case is the main peripheral which is available in different shapes & sizes in every computer brand. The case is usually made up of plastic or metal. Inside the case lie the most important components of the computer i.e. motherboard, CPU & power supplies. Monitor of the brand desktop lies outside the computer case. For the proper working of the desktop, video card is used to get the outclass display on its screen. Power cord bridges up the link of power outlet & its supply unit within computer.

Power cord is the magic start unit of the brand desktop which brings the computer to life.

A brand desktop especially a desktop computer consists of the peripherals that are most commonly available in the market. Among the peripherals, keyboard is the primary input device which provides the way to send in the data to the computer system. Mouse is a partner to the keyboard. Not only the keyboard is enough but mouse with keyboard play the role most efficiently and effectively for the desktop computer. Different kinds of mouse are present. One is termed as optical mouse and the other as mechanical mouse. A mechanical mouse is a traditional mouse which is built having the rolling ball used for the movement detection. This type of mouse is cheap and almost every desktop computer comes up with mechanical mouse.

Apart of these peripherals, there are other peripherals which lie inside the computer case.

These components of the brand desktop totally depend on the type of its usage. For a desktop computer, less functionality is required and hence fewer components are attached within a case. These are basically the options that enhance the computers functionality e.g. video cards or graphic cards.

The main operating peripheral, that is also called the brain of computer, is its CPU. The job of the CPU is to accomplish the commands send by the person using it. Whenever a key is pressed or a mouse is clicked in order to start or end an application, the instructions are sent to the CPU which enables its execution. Its speed is another factor that is being determined by the consumers. For a desktop computer, less speed is required whereas; large computers used for telecom sector require high speed and quality. The speed is measured in MZ or GZ. More MZ or GZ means high speed of sending out instructions. 

CPU is made up of Ceramic Square having a silicon chip of a thumbnail size inside it. RAM is another part of the system which is a short term memory of the computer. For temporary storage, RAM is used until the user saves the data on the hard disk drive. Programs mainly run in RAM e.g. if one uses word for any documentation or power point for presentation development, MS Word and Power point will load the files in RAM rather than using the hard disk drive.

Motherboard is another peripheral which contains circuit board which holds together other processing peripherals of the computer like CPU, memory, connectors for hard drives, optical drives, & other external ports. Moreover, there exist some internal parts like graphic card, network card, hard disk drive, expansion card, sound card, etc.
