I use sensor devices from Pico, specifically:

  http://www.picotech.com/thermistor.html

Good stuff. The sensors are connected to the device by RJ11
connectors, making it easy to extend them (for example by patching
them through a server room's TP cabling). The device is connected to a
serial port on the monitoring computer. Linux drivers are supplied,
and the serial protocol is documented if you prefer to roll your own
driver.
