Closest I can get right off is lshw, a C++ program that does a nice job
of letting you know about your hardware. It will output in HTML if you
give it a -html parameter, or -xml similarly. Obviously, though, it must
reside on the machine it is testing. It does _not_ store data in any
database. It can be found via freshmeat, if I'm not mistaken.
