Since there are generally multiple clock sources in your average computer, i think you could say they have multiple hearts.

Originally posted by sonhouseThe heart is the delivery system of oxygen and nutrients to the rest of the body. It doesn't produce those nutrients. So, perhaps the heart is the power grid, not the power stations. And while the heart does have a rhythm, like the frequency of the electrical grid, I don't think most cells care about that rhythm as long as they have their deliveries arrive expediently.
Well, with that logic, the heart of the CPU is the nuclear power station making the electricity.
That would make the stomach, intestines, lungs, the power station.
Clock generators, inverters and the like just clean the voltage to make it more consumable to the CPUs and other devices. Perhaps clock generators are really the liver of the computer.
