We got a computer donated, but it only has one cable. How many cables should a computer (no printers or speakers) have?

CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

It should have one capower cable that hooks to the back of the machine and the wall.
It should have a cable that connects the monitor to the computer system's video card.
It could have a cable for internet service, and connects the computer's modem to the phone jack.
That's it.

Yes you need the power cable, the Monitor cable is normally attached to the Monitor.
Networking / Modem cables normally no longer come with systems. Printer cables may be either a USB (Most new printers) or Parallel(sp) Cables
Do you have a keyboard & mouse ? and will the system be connecting to a network.
Example on my system we have the following
1) Power Cable
2) 2 Monotor Cables (Dual Monitor setup)
3) Keyboard & Mouse
4) Networking
5) R.F. Cable Line (TV In)
6) 3 Speaker Cables (5.1 Sound)
7) about 1/2 dozen USB Cables
8) Firewire
Yes it's a mess behind there
The Minimum Number would be
Power & Monitor if your using wireless Keyboard & Mouse & Networking

Depending on how much you have wireless, you should have a power cable, a keyboard cable, and a mouse cable. That would probably be the bare minimum.
