How many components make up a computer?
[Edit]

Answer

You're kidding, right?

Just in case you're not, it depends on the computer. The hundreds of millions of transistors could be called components. The monitor, keyboard, disk drives, motherboard, power supply and peripheral hardware each have many chips containing an overwhelming number of transistors each.

You'd have to research each component used in a specific computer, perform a chip count, and while you're at it count all of the other components. Since each manufacturer has different ideas of what's the RIGHT way to build a computer, each computer will have a different count. But feel free to start the research.
