I hear alot of people saying that word but i don't know what it really means :P.

So, can someone put simply what's a Mobo? (where it's located in the the computer, what it does)

Mobo = a short term for "Motherboard" just like you would say "CPU" instead of Central Processing Unit or RAM instead of Random-Access Memory.

In short Motherboard connects peripherals, CPU, Graphics Card, RAM, etc. all together. It gets the electricity from the power supply (psu) and spreads it to all the parts (except of fans).

It is the only board that is vertical to the ground inside your PC. And it's also the biggest board inside your PC. It's got a lot of sockets.

Thanks.
