THE GUTS
The following two-part video discusses:
  • How computers have changed on the outside and inside over the years
  • How to identify various components on the back of and inside the computer
  • Static Electricity and what to do about it
  • What to look for to help remove/replace various components inside the computer case

Maximum PC magazine's site has an interesting section about building your own PC which shows many useful videos to help get you inside your machine. Even if you never build your own, the use of terminology in context is very valuable for beginners.

They also have a How-To section filled with useful information for those looking into the guts of the machine, particularly this one.
