Its also good to maybe have a look at peoples buying habits. For electronic consumer goods, I think people use brands as a way of choosing a product or 3rd party review site. When I was looking a while back found my process was to check review sites and then go to an online camera store with one or two models in mind. Could never remember the exact model number and even if I could there are so many different way to write X-123B-Z that search always missed it, but I do remember what it looked like, RRP and the brand. So making it easy to choose by the common real world process people use when picking a product might help.

Found this site the best site so far for finding what I wanted and I checked alot of them.

It's hard to tell without the specifics, but this might be similar to your challenge: http://www.tigerdirect.com. A good example of how they deal with filters is to go down the path of browsing for hard drives. You can keep adding filters by clicking on items in the left rail/navigation area. As you get deeper in, they start to construct a breadcrumb trail of filters you've added. I wouldn't say it's a great experience, but they've made an attempt at handling some of the things it sounds like you are dealing with. I'm not sure how clear it is to people, but they are doing some useful things.
