>My pet peeve is when people call a computer case the 'CPU'...

In my past mainframe experience, we called it the CPU (the processor, the 
processor storage, the processor power distribution unit, the processor 
coolant distribution unit, etcetera), and it was as large as a living 
room, and consumed as much power as seven all-electric homes (about 70 
KVA).

At least we called the then separate I/O channel boxes by their name 
(2860, 2870, 2880).

Then came integrated I/O channels, and that distinction disappeared as 
well.

Funny thing is the entire room was generally called the "machine room".

It's all in your perspective.
