Most of the time, when buying a computer, the necessary
appurtenances are either included or the sales person will advise you
what you need. If you are an adventurous and brave soul, or else you
know exactly what you are getting into, you may want to build your
computer yourself. You can modify your computer in any way you want but
here are certain things every computer needs which are standard and
essential.
Computer Cables
You will need a power cable as well as a USB cable to download programs you will need or want. Some machines, like the fax, printer and scanner can be activated through wireless connection but if you still have the older types of fax machines or printers, you will need a cable to build a connection between it and the computer.
Monitor
Without a monitor, you won't be able to use your computer. It is the visual input and output of everything you want to do. Monitors will let you see what is going on with your computer. -Emails and instant messages, alerts and offers are all possible because you can see them on your screen. You can get the most sophisticated monitor or an older version. So long as the monitor is compatible with your computer programs, it will work for you.
Speakers
Some speakers are external devices while others are built-in. Obviously, the built in speakers give you less of a spaghetti salad because there are two less electrical wires to try to keep in order. The plus of the external speakers is that you can adjust the volume a little quicker. A touch with your fingers and the volume is up or down. Changing the volume on your computer may take a little longer with built-in speakers while you look for the tiny volume control buttons.
Keyboard and Mouse
A keyboard is definitely essential. Whether you perform work on your computer or just surf the internet, you need a keyboard to type in what address you want. Some computers are directed by touchscreen but they are still not made for typing out documents. Navigating without a mouse is possible only up to a point. Even if you are very accomplished working with computers, a mouse-less PC will spell headache and frustration.
Internet Connection
For you to access the internet, you must have the ability to connect to a modem, a telephone and a service provider. This is the dial-up connection which is generally slow and prohibits the landline phone from being used while on the internet. A DSL connection is much faster than the modem and is more often used than the telephone dial-up connection. It frees the telephone to be used during internet used. There is also the wireless connection. Wireless is often the only way some people living in remote areas can connect to internet use.
