Not quite CPU temp (But is that really necessary?)
What about a cheap outdoor temp sensor in the box?
(They usualy have a fairly long lead to the sensor)
(And only $10 at your local electronics shop)
I have my server under a staircase, And the temp sensor sits in a little
nook nicely.
Whenever I go past the stairs, I can see the operating temp.
Yeah, I though about building it into Myth somehow. (Actual CPU/MB temp)
But I really wanted something I could check without looking at a
TV/Monitor!
