    I don't know if this is helpful, but I would strongly recommend
against books by Aubrey Pilgrim titled something like "How to build
your own 80X86 compatible and save a bundle" where X = 2, 3.  I have
the 386 version, purchased through the Library of Science, and it
doesn't go into much detail anywhere; the level is roughly "pick a
good motherboard and install it in the case."
