I would like to perform a hardware check on my two desktops.
Are there any general-purpose hardware check tools for Ubuntu that will check:
One of my desktops is about three years old and the other one is 10 years old.
Pencil Project (Download Link)
Despite the similar names this is different from Pencil.
The Pencil Project's unique mission is to build a free and opensource tool for making diagrams and GUI prototyping that everyone can use.
After having installed the bluez-utils we have access to some nice command line tools to show and manage bluetooth devices:
hciconfig --all # shows all known devices
hcitool scan # shows devices that are connected
sdptool browse # shows available services on the remote device

What you ask is not specific for Linux/Ubuntu and can be achieved with 3rd party software. For instance: Ultimate boot CD might be helpful.
See the link for a long long list of tools that it has. Amongst it are BIOS, CPU, Hard Disk Information & Management, Hard Disk Diagnosis and memory tools. It also includes gparted and a resize program.
