Basic Hardware Resources?

OK, time for a Stupid Question (TM).

I'm very interested in building a wearable computer, but my hardware
konwledge isn't quite up to speed; I've traditionally been more of a
software guy.  I can swap out CD-ROM drives on my tower and so forth
without a problem, but amps/DC-to-DC/etc. are things I know of only as
hazy outlines, so to speak.

Do you all know of any sites I can go to that cover this sort of thing, so
I can bone up on my knowledge?  I'd (obviously) prefer something with a
computer focus rather than a generic electrical engineering bent, but
whatever you can think of would be greatly appreciated.

I understand that I can't read a few webpages about watts and converters
and magically become a computer hardware expert, but I need to start
somewhere. :-)  I'm currently building a keyglove
(www.wearables.ml.org/keyglove.html), but that's at the very limit of my
ability.

Thanks,

Gurney
