Hardware

I recently found this article on a guy that built his own computer.

It's just a bunch of wire (as far as I can tell any way) and I was just wondering what would I have to learn/read/do to make such a thing (or at least to have a really basic understanding of what he did). He also made his own operating system, which I find really impressive. I know it will take a while and I am in no hurry.

Note: I am a web programmer and also have done some desktop apps (a few years ago).
