Environmental monitoring

Serial is nearly right-out, since we use serial on our machines for console
redirection. I can throw an add-in card into one of the larger machines, I
suppose. Of course, I have seen howtos online to build USB sensors, too...
Although none of us in the office are too handy with a soldering gun, I
might be able to convince/coerce one of our Electronics faculty to build a
few for us. :)
I'm really looking for some inexpensive, preferably USB sensors to hang off
a couple of machines. The $20 to $50 (USD) range is nice, but we could
probably go up to $100 each. We don't really need a dedicated env
monitoring device, like APC offers.
Cheers,
Kevin
