Database Software for Lego Collection / Inventory (Microsoft Access?)

So I know there are other threads floating around about this, but I was curious to get a current pulse check. My gf recently has been showing me the power of Microsoft Access and has built an internal database for her lab. The thing is incredibly powerful and I immediately wondered how well it would work with my lego inventory / collection. Cons of Access for me are 1) having to purchase Office Business and 2) not having a PC so either a) running windows on my mac or b) finding a cheap PC to start this on. My hesitancy is, that is a lot of financial and time investment though on a gamble with access. I currently use Excel to track a lot. I have personal collection, selling inventory, bulk inventory etc. but more and more lines are piling up and it's slowing down. I was curious if anyone uses Access for their collection? Or if there is another piece of database software out there that people use and has a decent amount of customization? Just curious what people use! :D
