system unit


Explanation:
https://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jednostka_systemowa
Jednostka systemowa (zwana także jednostką centralną lub po prostu komputerem) – zasadnicza część zestawu komputerowego zawierająca najważniejsze jego elementy składowe, umieszczone we wspólnej obudowie. Pojęcie to zostało wprowadzone w celu wyeliminowania wieloznaczności, ponieważ już wcześniej w kontekście ściśle informatycznym jednostką centralną nazywano procesor (ang. CPU – Central Processing Unit).
W zależności od konstrukcji danego typu komputera, jednostka systemowa zawiera najczęściej: zasilacz, płytę główną z procesorem, dysk twardy wraz z zainstalowanym systemem operacyjnym, pamięć RAM (pamięć operacyjną) oraz porty do komunikacji z pozostałymi elementami zestawu komputerowego.
