Yeah, that's one of the ones I found.

I'm looking for pretty much any website that'd walk a grandma through.

THIS helped me when i built my first ever computer, without any help. it was just that, anandtech's hardware forum, and a little bit of tomshardware.com

Do people even take a+ certification seriously anymore? I was under the impression that the market is filled with paper mcses and the like
