You could look for hardware books at a public library.  
"PC Hardware in a Nutshell" by O'Reilly might be a good place to start -

A site like http://www4.tomshardware.com/ can provide information.
Check out http://www4.tomshardware.com/howto/01q1/010115/index.html

A quick search with google.com for "hardware guides" nets lots of
hits.

If you have auctions at government or educational facilities  
in your area pick up some cheap old computers and play with them.

A few ideas anyway.
