ok, talked to dell, there is no hardware on the T105 that will allow 
monitoring of the fan, voltage, etc.. basically the only thing you can 
monitor is the raid array which is fine as that's all I really want to 
check with nagios.  still have that pesky timeout after 30 seconds error 
though.  tried with --timeout 60 and with -t 60 and nothing seems to 
change the behavior.

did find some power settings (not bios, system is remote so I couldn't 
gain access to the bios) and changed them to max performance which did 
seem to help a little though so thanks for that tip. :)
