Does anyone know about a site that explains how a mainboard works in depth? I want to know what every little dot do! The same goes for every other component, but I'm most interested in the mainboard.

I spoke to Flash's doctor, and apparently he got turrets syndrome

I googled "detailed explanation of mainboard" and came up with a few results, like this: http://www.simulationexams.com/tutorials/aplus/core/motherboard.htm .
http://www.karbosguide.com/books/pcarchitecture/chapter04.htm

Google is a pretty good website

EDIT: The best thing you can do is to get one of those giant ass books. They got everything in them.

yea, buying a cohesive 1000 page guide is probably the best way to go. Sadly, I don't know any myself :S

You could also try searching places like MIT's free online courses, or free knowledge sites like http://www.openculture.com/

Adding up to that; can you stand that many pages of reading about hardware? I'd rather have a class with other people learning with me, provided that I can get a teacher thats decent and not more boring than reading the book.

Yes, I just read a 1000 page long book on fluid mechanics
I didn't find anything on Google, so thank you for the links! (just found ads for Asus and other companies)
