computers are much easier than metal and wood. You have tabs, and you have slots. Try opening the case to your computer, dusting it off (yes it'll be dusty. hope you don't have spiders), and getting used to unplugging and plugging things back in. Most of the crazy wires will trace back to the power supply, and the others will trace back to the motherboard.
You seriously can NOT break anything while pushing these on and off. There is more delicate work to putting a computer together (most notably adding a cpu. takes xylene among other things to do it right. and a delicate hand so you don't bend the fine pins). But you really ought to get used to the easy stuff.
I hotwire my computer whenever I turn it on, ever since the power switch broke.
