Just not possible most of the time.  Are you aware of the number of
individual PC components in the wild?  Simply aquiring the hardware
isn't feasable.  Alternatively, every attempt at a distributed
hardware database has been thwarted by a vast number of
less-than-knowledgable contributors and the incredibly low signal to
noise ratio that follows.
