I've started hacking on something... It's not much at the moment but it'll 
track what components you have, where they are, and how many are in a given 
location. What I'm trying to add now is parametric searching ("I want a 
resistor with a value of 470k and a 1/8W or higher power rating") and 
datasheet storage (store a couple of PDFs tied to a component), then add 
bill-of-materials handling.

Problem is, that ever present lack of spare time.

There's a live copy of a fairly old version of it at 
<http://isistest.philpem.me.uk/>; the latest beta has Digikey importing (which 
works.. mostly).

I'm also playing around with a wxWidgets client for the database; I just can't 
think of a decent way of handling parametric data in PHP/MySQL...
