I agree with the comment from Dan, ditch your spreadsheet asap and get something specific, before the spreadsheet becomes a noose around your neck. You could look for a helpdesk / ticket/issue management tool that lets you record your inventory, that way you can also record issues occurring on specific hardware. A nice (commercial) example of this is called Service-now.com. I am sure there are issue management tools for Linux that do the same thing, I can think of http://otrs.org, although I have not used this in a while so dont remember all the features but it looked good at the time.
