How can I find out what components are in my pc without ripping it open?
All I want is a simple listing:
MB - brand, model, version, bios version
CPU - name model speed
mem - same as cpu
Video card same as cpu
other cards.
Drivers to units not always connected, printer, camera, scanners, etc
Virtual cd/dvd/bd drives, Vhd's
all the things that windows upgrades mights cough at.

more:
floppy disk?
ODD?
PSU? doubtful
additional usb access points, front, back jack and what currently might be connected, etc

There must be a program that can find these things, and save them simply as a txt file for something that I can easily post online in a forum?
OH, looking for free......

thanks

If you're using Windows, use the device manager and CPU-Z/GPU-Z.

Use Speccy. It'll give you the run down on your system entirely.

Speccy is good but there is a free version of a piece of software called SIW it will tell you just about everything there is to know about your computer.

It's still available. The portable version has been discontinued, but there's a free for personal use version for installing on home systems.

SIW website (scroll toward the bottom at the link):
