On a desktop computer, the box thing where the motherboard and hard drives etc. are stored is it called a box? a case? tell me what you call it!

Do you mean where the cd drive is, the on/off button and where everything in stored inside?

I am pretty sure its called, The Computer Case....

[jjbtcp]

Yeah, that's what i mean. i think its the case too. i have heard of people calling it the box aswell. Thanks

You can call it anything you like, but not a CPU, at least not when Raptor's around.
I call it a tower, PC or computer, although people do say "my test box" or "my Linux box" or rig.

[Carbon Dudeoxide]

I like to call it The Thing

actually no...

If you go to any online seller or retail store, you'll most likely see case as the name used for that component.  Any other terminology is basically just conversational lingo.
