Most new computers come with built-in temperature sensors as well as voltage sensors or fan speed sensors. Therefore you will probably only need the software to read it. You will have to download and compile the kernel modules you will find in: http://secure.netroedge.com/~lm78/index.html If you are using Debian there is a package (lm-sensors-source) which has all you need to build the modules. I have been using them with kernel 2.4.17 and Debian to avoid burning the CPU if a fan stopped. I can send you the scripts if you need them.
