Line 52:
A computer is one of the best examples of modular design. Typical [[computer module]]s include a [[computer case|computer chassis]], [[Power supply unit (computer)|power supply units]], [[Central processing unit|processors]], [[mainboard]]s, [[graphics card]]s, [[hard drive]]s, and [[optical drive]]s. All of these parts should be easily [[interchangeable parts|interchangeable]] as long as the user uses parts that support the same standard interface.
==Smartphones==
For smartphones (see also [[Modular smartphone]]), this idea was explored in [[Project Ara]], which provided a platform for manufactures to create modules for a smartphone which could then be customised by the end user. The [[Fairphone]] uses a similar principle, where the user can purchase individual parts to repair or upgrade the phone.
