I have seen some books on building computers at various bookstores.  I
know they exist.  For instance a quick search at barnesandnoble.com gets
me the titles:

   Building Your Own PC, Arnie Lee

   Building a PC for Dummies, Mark L. Chambers,Kemper 

I would also guess that there are a variety of web sites
devoted to the subject too.  A similar web search on yahoo gets me:
http://www.tuxedo.org/~esr/writings/lj-howtobuild.html

The info is out there if you look for it.
