Anybody know a simple way to get a laptops device's serial number or

So far I came up with this:
(       for MA in `ls /sys/bus/pci/devices/*/modalias`
        do
                cat "$MA";
        done
) | sha1sum


Btw, why not cat /sys/bus/pci/devices/*/modalias | sha1sum  instead of 
for cycle? :-)
