This reminds me of a thing I thought a few days ago:
When people get mad at their computers, they destroy the monitor, which, if you stop to think, is nothing but a 'slave' of the computer used to give us visual information. The computer itself, the computer case where all the hardware is located, and is sometimes the source of the problem, is completely ignored by them.
The monitor is the one that suffers, despite being innocent.
Usually people call a computer case (even with nothing inside) the CPU as indicated multiple times within this tread: Linustechtips.com
