Good Books

[Zonk1972]

I realize that the best way to learn is 'hands on'. But, are there any good books or manuals out there describing how a computer works and is built from ground up. Also, any good websites will help too. I want to learn about the hardware, BIOS, and any other info on building a computer.

Thanks.

There are lots of books on computers and lots of websites also.

This is kind of basic:

Then look up the individual components.

Some good hardware sites are:

http://www.anandtech.com

This site sells a CDROM with lots of information for Computer Builders:
