PSU is power-supply unit, this is metal box with bunch of colored 
wires sitting in the corner of your computer case.
It converts AC from wall outlet into DC used by computer internals.

You can't hear processor, it is not mechanical thing. You probably hear _fan_
on top of the processor, used to cool it.

He means that if your computer has serial port (9 or 25 pin D-shaped), 
and you have one more computer with such serial port nearby, you could 
connect them and have first computer do output over serial connection 
to second one, which will act as "serial console" in such case. As 
second computer does not powered-off then first one does, it is possible to see 
log of powering-off first computer on a second one.
