Tech Tip of the Day: The case with all of the components in it is called a Computer. This is not a CPU, Hard Drive, or a modem. The CPU is a component of your computer, just as a modem is an individual component(one that is quite often not even part of a computer anymore.) The Hard Drive is the component that stores all of your data/program files/Operating system. This is a pet peeve(think nails on a chalkboard) of pretty much EVERY IT person, and we mostly suffer in silence.
Acceptable nomenclature for a computer can be desktop, tower, or PC. There could be others, but please oh please oh please stop calling it the CPU, Hard Drive or modem...
Thanks and keep your IT guy sane.
