Where can I learn more about computers, hardware and tech in general. A bit more in depth than what Linus post on YouTube, I want to know how hardware works instead of just knowing how to put toghether a computer if you know what i mean. Is there any online courses or any websites? 

I see alot of you guys know a lot about this stuff, but where did you learn it?

Best way to learn about tech is hands on experience. That's how I learned it and I'm a lot more literate than you might think. I got some help from a couple online courses and a friend's help, and then once I built my first computer, everything else was self-taught. So I'd say play around with tech a little bit. Start small. Get an old $10 Pentium G2030 Dell computer or something and take it apart. Look around and look up what you think each part is. Figure out the difference between PCI and PCI e. Just get curious in general about each part, what it does, how it does it etc. and look it up in a book or online. Do it piece by piece and you'll be a genius by the end of the day. ;) Or just build yourself a computer and learn from that.

Hands on will always be the best route for learning technology hardware, and just look for a free interactive online website course for software. I would definitely recommend www.codecademy.com
