I like to use the 'lshw' program. not sure why rhel doesn't carry it but you
can get it in rpmforge.
it's got an impressive database of hardware. It should detect the product
and vendor of most all components like chassis, cpu, usb connected stuff,
add on cards.. Even tells you serial numbers of your ram sticks and firmware
versions of your disks.
for scripting use XML output
