Kevin,

I would also suggest that you take a computer and use it to practice with.  Install different peripherals, cards,  install operating systems,  work with the equipment, get familiar with what the ports and connectors look like and what are the common IRQs and I/O addresses.  Many community colleges now have courses for A+, where you can get some practical experience with the equipment.  Michael Myers A+  study guide is supposed to be a good book,  http://www.cramsession.com  has very good study notes and a discussion list where you can ask questions.
