Database program for science project?

The Project contains 430 different parts
that will be tested and over time there will be about 100-150 pictures
taken for every part.

I am looking for a software that helps to keep
an overview of files and the content of many many different
- excel files/ converted into numbers
- notes taken
- and even more pictures
- a timeline with connection to data and pictures would be good too

Data from the excel files needs to be connected to notes and pictures.

I checked out Bento but to have 430 projects in Bento seems a bit to much.
Also looked at Filemaker pro.. not sure if this will work and its crazy expensive.

Do you guys know of any solution that would help to organize all this stuff, online solution would be good to but then I get problems with the amount of pictures and storage.

Thanks!

 

i found this recent thread on my search Before i posted a new one because it did not apply to my question.

i dont want to have a application for just managing notes
it should do much more specific files and many pictures
i checked out filemaker it works not to bad but as it looks like you cant really
check content of files inside the program

 

thanks!
it looks decent although $49 / month is not cheap
i might try it for the 14days free and see from there
