A Beginner’s Guide to What Goes on Inside that PC published by extremetech a few days ago tries to explain the components of a personal computer without the “geek” language. It aims at a audience that did not have the time or desire to understand how a pc is working. The eight-parts article begins with an introduction and goes on by encouraging everyone to take a look at their own pc. (After saving all work and the like). It would be a good way to print the article to be able to read it and look at the turned off computer at the same time.
After explaining most of the elements of the pc and giving a basic understanding of the connections between those elements the article shifts to an in depth tutorial of the following elements: the case, the motherboard, input and output devices, cooling, putting everything together. All in all it´s a great way to start reading on computer hardware to get a rough first image how a pc works.
