An XML DTD for computer inventory might be an interesting and useful tool
to attempt for injecting and querying parts from a database. The actual
table structure should be easy enough. The key is to streamline to use only
fields that are shared by all items. I would much rather create my own
than find a piece of software for it, but that's my opinion

How many items do you need to keep track of? Is it
less than 100, a
thousand?
I tried using LibreOffice Calc to keep track of what I had so I wouldn't
go and buy something I already had. Alas, you know the rest of the story.
In order to help organize things at the physical level, I use a number
of identical size boxes to keep parts in. Then I label them CPU,
Memory, Serial, etc, to organize them to that level. These boxes fit
nicely into one book case and the labels are easy to read.
I would say I have ~300 items to keep track of.

I would like to keep track of physical location, board etch revision,
board modification revision, bus type, where used, etc.
If you have any good ideas, please let me know.
I'm using a simple spreadsheet for now and it's not what I'm looking for.
Thank you.
