system unit
<hardware> The main body of a computer, consisting of a plastic or metal
enclosure, the motherboard, and (typically) internal disk drives, a power
supply, cooling fans, and whatever circuit boards plugged into the mother board,
such as a video card.
The system unit is occasionally referred to as the CPU, though this really means
central processing unit.
