 Repeat after me: the CPU is not the computer. "The core of the CPU is mostly made out of sand" is less cringeworthy. As the "computer" itself, it's mostly made of plastic and metal. Even the CPU's plastic casing is a large part of it in volume. [[User:Ralfoide|Ralfoide]] ([[User talk:Ralfoide|talk]]) 14:21, 1 April 2014 (UTC)
 : When I buy a box of [http://i.walmartimages.com/i/p/00/00/98/00/00/0000980000071_500X500.jpg Ferrero Rocher Hazelnut chocolate], and I say, these made out of chocolate, would that statement be "cringeworthy" if I forgot to mention the hazelnut interior, or the tin foil that surrounds the chocolate, or the paper cup that goes around the tin foil, or the plastic container that it comes in? Even the cardboard setting in the box is a large part of it in volume. (Moral: when we describe something, we only really care about the active components that allow it to do whatever it is supposed to do, not the packaging it comes in.)
