How about

comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.components
comp.sys.ibm.pc.hardware.systems

It seems that most threads discuss complete systems (should I buy Gatenorth or
SOEZ?) or various questions about components (modems, drives, monitors, etc.)
I think that special groups for only one kind of component would be a bit
restrictive. I might also suggest dropping the .ibm.pc and replacing it with
.pc (or even .intel).
