• PSU (Power Supply Unit):

  • Converts mains AC to low-voltage regulated DC power for internal components of a computer
• Microphone:

  • Picks up sound and converts the audio sound waves into electrical signals, which then travel to the sound card to be converted into digital signals for processing by the computer
