Talk:Personal computer hardware

message: i don't think that computer hardware should be merged with computer peripheral, however, peripheral device should be merged with computer peripheral, and peripheral should be deleted or rewritten.--FranzSS 03:11, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

text: if it is confusing for you, be kind and do the following:
put some new links, put paper bibliography, put it on a talking list to proposed deletion or contact the authors for a 2nd revision.
I personally believe that computer hardware should be left alone and computer peripheral and peripheral device should be merged between the input device and output device articles. The peripheral device article deals with the concepts of monitors, mouses, and the such, so therefore it should be combined. Icestorm815 19:33, 8 September 2007 (UTC)

text: Why don't put the articles under different categories ?
I agree with Icestorm.  Computer hardware is a seperate topic from computer peripherals; the articles are entirely different.  This article does a great job of listing the components of a computer system, and should be left on its own.  --Nemilar 04:01, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Shouldn't this all just be moved back to computer hardware, and remove the word "personal" wherever needed? Frankly, after this move it only makes it more apparent that we're missing a whole article on general computer hardware, and this article is just about close enough to it that it makes sense to just say "computer" instead of "personal computer".

replies: text: No.  An article on computer hardware should tackle the topic from the angle of computer architecture, based on the von Neumann machine, which has three major subsystems: storage, the central processing unit and input/output devices.  Those would be the three main sections of the article, with each discussing the physical devices used to implement the architecture, from the early days of mainframes to modern computers.

thread_title:  Move 

message: After reviewing what this article is trying to do it seems apparent it is a list of sorts.
:Meets the criteria of a stand-alone list, which is an article that contains primarily a list, usually consisting of links to articles in a particular subject area.
It looks similar to these Featured Lists:
* ISO 3166-1
* List of Bay Area Rapid Transit stations
* List of Virtual Boy games
* List of Shetland islands - We could add images of each piece of hardware in a slideshow for each section.
* List of cities and towns in Arizona
* Moons of Jupiter - This article adds some front matter in the sections before the list. We could have some details for each subsection instead.
If there are no major objections to this direction I will come back to start us moving toward a Featured List. § Music Sorter § (talk) 06:29, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
