Re-read a little. At the end of the day if you can get drivers compatible with your system which allow the barcode reader to be used as a basic text-input device then your set. Because pushing that into a database as an ID is a nice easy job. As Redcore says, building it yourself is a good idea.

I've expereinced so many failed inventory tracking systems, so keeping this basic (well sticking to the data you need to store, and not bothering with a major GUI) is a brilliant way to go. Stripping down an XP box (ridding of unnecessary stuff) is a nice way to go about it. But definately explore your options beforehand =]
