what is a computer made of?

If you're conversation about the functional parts....

a personal computer have 5 basic components:

1. Input (keyboard mouse etc)

2. Memory (both external <supplementary> and internal)

3. Arithmetic Logic element (ALU) - perform the rigorous boolean algebra (aka binary/switching algebra)

4. Control Unit (aka clock, this synchronizes the unharmed unit)

5. Output (monitor speakers etc)



If you're referring to the materials,

mainly silicon, arsenide, boron, phosphorous, front (for the chips and circuits)

plastics and aluminum (or some sort of alloy) for the casing etc.
mostly plastics, some metals, and some silicon
A full host of materials.
