Here are some possibilities:

System hardware (only) detection, reporting

        1) lshw, lspci, lsusb, lshw-gtk

        2) hwinfo

        3) hardinfo, in a GTK+ window

        4) dmidecode

        5) discover

        *) See also "inventory" for combination software, hardware reporting

My version of CentOS (6.4) has dmidecode installed, but I do not recall if I installed it or if it came installed.
