Get your self one of those starter kits for a PIC, Stamp or AVR microprocessor.

Real Programmers Do things like this.

The ALU is a good place to start (arithmetic logic unit). Then, learn about registers, stacks, pointers and so on.
Making your own computer is possible but would be waste of time and money. Google for picaxe to learn about an inexpensive IC that you can learn a lot with, do experiments, write your own code, interface to other devices, etc.
Here's a link:

Look first at the reference to the Motorola book, "Understanding Small Microcontrollers", mentioned first on that page:

Read it first, then look at some of the other PIC and AVR links on the page. I'll bet it'll give you a good start.
