Hey there, noob here! Can't really think of anywhere to ask this, so here goes.

I've always been comfortable working with tech, having fairly good troubleshooting skills, but I have always stayed away from the hardware side believing it was incredibly complex. While I have since found that yes this is the case, it isn't as complex as I first thought to build your own PC and such.

My question is this:
If I were seeking a level of understanding to the point of building and using a server (rack-mounted or otherwise), where would I start and what should I be looking to learn about?

TL;DR - Noob wants to understand, but has no idea where to start.

It's just a big PC with more of everything and a few extra BIOS settings for remote management.

Look up an A+, Network+ or Server+ Study guide,

A+ is hardware and server is some of both, they're entry level exams that cover most stuff, don't waste the money on the certs though.

It's basically building a tower but in a rack system with server grade hardware.

If you're starting out build a computer then proceed to build up a server if you can afford doing so.

Or lookup guides on how to build cheap NAS servers.
